Gardenias, also known as Cape Jasmines, are primarily grown for their fragrant flowers and handsome foliage. They should be planted where people will notice the fragrance. The flowers open over a long period of time, from May through June, and sporadically throughout the summer. Gardenias are considered deer resistant shrubs.

Common names for this plant are Frost Proof Gardenia and Cape Jasmine 'Frost Proof'.
