The plant planted in the ground is struggling against the episodes of incessant rain as it has a lot of yellow leaves, a sign of too much water. I hope to recover it after the winter. Otherwise, before the rain, it flowered a little. It is planted in good soil in the east-facing sun, sheltered from the wind.

Description

Gardenia jasminoides Kleim's Hardy is a new cultivar, as floriferous and fragrant as the species but hardy down to -12 °C!

 

A small, slow-growing shrub, Gardenia Kleim's Hardy is well-known for its sweet and refined fragrance as well as its hardiness. This American selection is indeed hardy down to -12 °C.

Its leaves, glossy and rounded, are dark green and evergreen but may become damaged and fall off at temperatures between -6 °C and -8 °C. Flowering from May to September, Gardenia 'Kleim's Hardy' produces large, white, star-shaped flowers, 5 cm (2 in) in diameter, with an enchanting fragrance.

Plant it in a partially shaded flowerbed or in a pot in a moist, humus-rich, and light soil. Exposure is important as Gardenia likes warmth (not drought) and the intense rays of the sun can scorch its leaves. Place it in partial shade, in a bright location, well protected from cold and dry winds. It has roughly the same requirements as camellias.

Planting and care

Plant Gardenia jasminoides Kleim's Hardy in a partially shaded border, or in a pot in a moist, humus-rich and light soil. Exposure is important, as Gardenia loves heat (not drought) and the harsh rays of the sun can scorch its foliage, so place it in partial shade, in a bright location, well protected from cold and dry winds. It has roughly the same requirements as camellias.
