Description

If you love gardenias and their heavenly fragrance but haven’t had the space to fit one in your gardens meet ‘Radicans’, a dwarf and spreading Gardenia that forms a mound of dark green foliage to about 2 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide over time. As with other gardenia varieties, Radicans produces lusciously fragrant, pure white double flowers in spring through early summer. The dark green lustrous leaves are smaller and thinner than other varieties providing a unique texture in the landscape. Excellent in garden beds or pots.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Its low and mounding form to 2 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide make the Radicans Dwarf Gardenia ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces and in pots, planters, and other containers. In larger landscape spaces it is ideal for use in groupings or mas plantings as a groundcover or to underplant Japanese Maple trees, Fragrant Tea Olive, Grancy Greybeard, Redbuds, Dogwoods and other small trees. Perfect for planting along a path or walkway and around patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces where the fragrance can be enjoyed from close up. Just plant it on the east side of the tree so it’ll get some afternoon shade.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedge or mass planting; 6 feet or more apartfor space between plants

Growing Preferences

Gardenia are very easy to grow in moist but well-drained acidic soils of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun with some shade or filtered sun in the mid afternoon hours. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other plant diseases. The east side of the home or other tall structure is a perfect spot for gardenias.

Soil pH is important!

To flower their best and maintain deep green foliage color, all Gardenia require an acid to moderately acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 on the pH scale. If your soil is alkaline foliage will turn pale-green to yellow and flowering will be diminished.

Soil pH is a measurement of the alkalinity or acidity of soil and is measured on a scale of 1-14, with 7 as the neutral mark. Any measurement below 7 indicates acid soil conditions, and anything above 7 indicates alkaline. If you’re unsure about the pH of your soil and whether or not it’s suitable for growing Gardenia it’s a good idea to test the soil pH in the planting area. You can quickly test soil pH with an inexpensive soil pH tester probe. To raise the pH (make more alkaline) you can add pelletized limestone to the soil. To lower the pH (make more acid) you can apply Soil Sulfur, Aluminum Sulfate, or Chelated Iron. Adding organic compost to the soil or using compost as mulch can also help to increase acidity and maintain acid soil conditions.

This plant is going to be the perfect fit for a small space. It arrived securely packed and in generally healthy condition. I was concerned about the many yellowing leaves and reached out to customer service with pictures. They responded promptly and asked me to give it time (stress of shipping and changing climate) and reassured me that once I got it into the ground it should be fine if given appropriate conditions (with attention paid to soil pH). Lo and behold, shortly after planting it’s been thriving with no more yellow leaves. I’m happy with my purchase and hope to see (and smell!) plentiful blooms next year!—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

This little gardenia arrived as perkily as if it had come from next door instead of a couple of states away. It’s not in bud or bloom yet, but already looks lovely in a pot on my balcony. I love it!—————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

This was the third group of shrubs I have ordered from Wilson brothers, and I have had incredible luck with all of them. Each and every plant has flourished in my Marietta Georgia location. This gardenia is low growing, with moderate growth, dark green foliage, evergreen, and blooms with a tiny white gardenia in the spring. I have several already, and they are really quite beautiful planted en masse. The plants arrive in packaging so secure that every branch was perfect, and the plants themselves are in beautiful condition. I would highly recommend Wilson brothers for your gardening purchases.———————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

Fed Ex took ten days to deliver my plants, thus worried. The two shrubs were well packed with extra damp paper around the base. The leaves appeared dehydrated but bounced back within one day. I gave the shrub five days in a quiet location to recover, then planted. The gardenia was root bound and it took time to untangle enough to plant. The shrub is still a tad droopy but should recover.————————————We are so sorry for the delay and this time of year plants sometimes get a little rootbound. Any time you have a problem, do not hesitate to call Customer Service. We can usually resolve just about any issue you may have. Have a great, thanks for your review! Beth | WBG

The gardenia is beautiful. It arrived quickly and in good health. It is thriving, but no blooms yet.

I ordered two gardenias and they arrived in excellent condition but are now trying to adjust to the Tucson desert climate. After the plants are acclimatized, I plan to “bonsai” both of them.——————————-Hi Barbara, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Radicans Creeping Dwarf Gardenia.
