Frost Proof Gardenia Planting Directions
Buds stay on your Bushes… Not the ground!

Finally… a Gardenia that won’t lose its flowers after late spring frosts.

I love Gardenias, but refuse to spray chemicals and cover my plants.

Old gardenias are insect prone, and finicky. Your soil can’t be too moist or too dry. Then the occasional late frost comes and wipes out your blooms for the season.

New Frost Proof Gardenias are unaffected by cold snaps and thrive on neglect. They adapt to a variety of soil conditions... do great in full sun or partial shade... and resist insects and disease. Even deer leave them alone.

Frost Proof won the "2007 Garden Writers Best Plants Award" for good reasons.

They’re just as beautiful as they are tough. You get huge, velvety white flowers that bloom in pairs.

They start blooming in late spring. These flowers last longer after being cut than old Gardenia varieties.

I planted several Gardenia bushes between my neighbor and I as a privacy hedge. We both pick flowers like crazy and can’t make a dent in them.

I put the blooms in bowls throughout the house and even keep one in my car.

Frost Proof also makes a great evergreen foundation hedge. They are bushy and well branched. They look great pruned or left natural.

Plant several for a fragrance you can smell from a distance.

You won’t find Frost Proof in big box stores for several more years. They only offer new plants when a large number of educated customers request the variety by name. Meanwhile they continue to sell the same problem plagued varieties.

We refuse to sell 2 quart or smaller sized plants. Instead, you get fully rooted, well developed 1 and 3 gallon plants that will give you blooms the very first season.

Order now while our supply of large sizes is still available.

I am so thrilled with the Frost Proof Gardenia and its blooms, they are so prolific and stay on the bush. Yeah a Gardenia in Oklahoma! so far so good.

Rick From East Texas
I just bought 8 so that i can plant 4 on each side of my house - i love the gardenias - i even have some in the back and last year i bought 8 dwarf gardenias - they smell wonderful - i wished i can see a Frost Proof Gardenia in maturiy so that i would know how big they will get. Thanks Rick in east Texas

I just wanted to say i was impressed not only w/ my 5 healthy Frost Proof Gardenias I ordered but also the excellent customer service. My plants were in great condition and a great size considering i was worried they'd be small. We also added two plants at last minute and they were so helpful in fulfilling my order. Thanks Brighter Blooms! I'll recommend ya!

wkori
I ordered 3 of the 1 Gallon Frost Proof Gardenias. I planted the two weekends ago and all three of them already have buds on them!

Nathan
I bought 13 frost proof gardenias. I planted them just before the 4th of July, and they're doing great so far. It took a while for them to flower, but it's October 6th and we're still getting beautiful, huge, white flowers this late in the year! I'm thinking they'll really explode next summer!

Dee in TN
Planted this gardenia shrub last spring following placement and planting instructions to the tee. Plants survived this last winter here in Eastern TN. Blooms this year are now beautifull.

K Petit
I love my 3 gallon Frost Proof Gardenia. It had lots of blooms.

Sue
I ordered and planted my frost proof gardenia last Spring in May. I had quite a few flowers right away.

Diane and Charles Scott
We bought a Frost Proof Gardenia last spring and planted it next to our patio. I cannot wait to order more to go all the way around. They are incredible! Lynchburg, VA

Rodica
I have two Frost proof Gardenias close to my patio and I will order two next spring. These gardenia plants bloomed the whole season, they are incredible. Cherry Hill, NJ

Steve Hochstadt
I planted one of your frost proof gardenias about 2 months ago and it is thriving. It has produced many flowers and has grown to about double its original size. I live in central Illinois, right near the edge of its hardiness zone, but I have a protected spot and I am hopeful it will come back strong in the spring.

JAMES DOEHRING
I ORDERED FROST PROOF GARDENIAS 12 FOR A HEDGE. EXCELLENT

Sally
I am a "pot" gardner and have a frost proof gardenia for it's second summer. I left it outside against the house in its pot and lo and behold it sprouted beautifully this spring. YAY! I live in the mountains of western North Carolina and we had a pretty brutally cold winter in 2008-2009. Thanks so much. I'm hoping for the same kind of success next spring.

Sarah in Tampa, FL
I purchased 2 Frost Proof Gardenias in the spring, and they are doing quite well. They have nice dark green foliage and have grown quite a bit over the summer. I planted them right next to my new patio, so I can't wait to smell them next spring while enjoying the new outdoor space.

E. Scully
I bought 2 of the 1 gallon frost proof gardenias. They both bloomed this summer and the scent was spectacular! Absolutely love them. I will be ordering more next Spring!

Marty Terzian
My Frost Proof Gardenia is a healthy looking plant and growing beautifully. I thank you for all the courtesies you have extended to me and do appreciate your company. Your word is your bond and that is very good is todays society. I am surprised that the plant has done as well as it has for I have tried 4 or 5 other gardenias in the same area and they did not survive but this one has done well in our terribly hot and dry summer here in west Texas and I'm looking forward to blooms next spring. Thank you for asking.

Matt in Pa z6

Don in Texas
My 2 Frost Proof Gardenias are doing great!...Very healthy!

P. Wells
I ordered 6 Frost Proof Gardenias in the spring and all but one are doing great. I'm not sure why the one has died but I'll have to replace it. All the others are thriving well and even had some blooms this year.

JV
I ordered three Frost Proof Gardenias at the beginning of summer and they are doing great and all three had some flowers and significant growth.

peteykgirl in texas
i haven't recieved my gardinia bush yet. i'm soooo excited. i have bought dozens of them- i love them! they always wasted away, i would keep the twigs hoping they would recover. i've been to every website and forum-and they all said the same-hardest plant to grow -ever! if these do like they say--i'll have dozens in my yard before fall!!!

Chrispy
I have tried to grow gardenias for years & years, never any luck. I bought a frost proof gardenia the beginning of spring & now it's blooming like crazy. I noticed that that most reviews are coming from the eastern half of the U.S. I live in Oregon, have my gardenia in a very large container on my front porch. I will be ordering more.
