<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reinventing the wheel occupies many a curious professional mind.</span><br />
The creation of new and improved long ago spread into the world of ornamental plants. Each spring homeowners looking to improve their yards and gardening buffs hunting for the next big thing shop for the easiest to grow and most beautiful plants they can locate. Everyone looks forward to the new colors and easier to grow ornamental plants that arrive on the scene each season.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Flower lovers everywhere attempt to grow this plant.</span><br />
The exotic fragrance and pure, snowy blossoms of the <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/gardenia/">Gardenia</a><a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/gardenia/"> bush</a> make it a favorite <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/flowering-shrubs/">flowering shrub</a> of florists. As a houseplant or in the landscape, the <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/product/frost-proof-gardenia.html">Gardenia plant</a> has always been finicky and heavily dependent on chemical sprays. The powerful scent makes the plant the envy of every person who cannot grow them in their yard. Until recent improvements, this was a plant that only very warm climate gardeners could enjoy the scent of in their personal space.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Southern scentsation improved for the north.</span><br />
It took only one plant specialist, Don Kleim of Henderson Experimental Gardens in California to discover one particularly cold tolerant <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/product/frost-proof-gardenia.html">Gardenia shrub</a> in the crowd. After some thorough testing around the country, <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/gardenia/">Gardenia</a> jasminoides &#8216;Kleim&#8217;s Hardy&#8217; came on the market. This Gardenia is known for holding its flower buds even through a spring frost. He later developed a similar cultivar known as &#8216;Frost Proof&#8217; Gardenia.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nothing ever stays the same &#8211; in life or plants.</span><br />
Every season brings us new and exciting plants for our yards and gardens. <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/gardenia/">Frost Proof Gardenia</a> is the new <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/product/frost-proof-gardenia.html">Gardenia bush</a> for success and the reward of fragrance all the way into zone 6. These <a href="http://www.brighterblooms.com/category/gardenia/">Gardenia plants</a> may suffer a little frost burn on the leaves, but the flower buds will hang on. Frost Proof Gardenia is one hothouse flower that can take the heat and the cold. You&#8217;ll have the heady fragrance of that singular perfume from spring into fall with this cold hardy Gardenia plant.</p>
