Gardenia Miami Supreme Grafted

Miami Supreme Gardenia is a grafted gardenia with an extra large, pure white, multiple petaled bloom. The rich, exotic perfume of gardenia blossoms fills the warm air of a southern night. The pure-white flowers glow in the dark, while their heady scent drifts across the garden, enchanting everyone to relax and enjoy life. Gardenias are evergreen shrubs that can reach 15 feet in height, but are typically smaller. The leaves are a simple oval shape, around two inches long, of a rich dark-green color and glossy, giving the plant a lovely healthy appearance. The bushes are dense and lush-looking, bringing a lot of beauty to the garden even when not in flower. The stems and trunk are mid-grey in color and the bark is fairly smooth and not flaky. The flowers on wild plants are single white stars, but most plants grown have large double flowers with many petals, making each bloom a bouquet. The flowers are between two and five inches across, depending on the variety, and are usually a creamy-white color, although some are yellow or even purple. The flowers have thick, almost waxy petals and exude a perfume that is a mixture of vanilla, nutmeg and jasmine.
