Diamond Spire® is a heat-tolerant, easy-to-care-for Gardenia with a unique columnar growth habit that has a long bloom period, producing fragrant, single white blossoms against its dark green foliage late spring through fall. Can be used as a hedge, specimen, or a “thriller” plant in a mixed container. Its aromatic flowers attract birds and butterflies and can be used in cut flower arrangements. Moist, rich, slightly acidic well-drained soil is key.
