Description

‘Double Mint’ is a new, cold hardy Gardenia variety with a long bloom season that stretches from mid-spring to fall boasting abundant fragrant double flowers packed with white petals that resemble roses. The flowers are extremely fragrant and stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage on dense, compact mounds 3 feet tall and wide. The flowers are excellent for cutting and using in indoor arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a dense mound 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide, the compact Double Mint Gardenia is an ideal choice as an accent, in groupings or as a wonderfully fragrant border or hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. In USDA Zones 7a and south to 8a we recommend planting Double Mint on the south or east side of the home where it will receive some afternoon shade and also be protected from the colder north winds of winter. Needless to say gardenias are a perfect fit for sensory gardens and near windows or outdoor living spaces where the fragrance can be enjoyed. A fine addition to white theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Gardenia are exceptionally easy to grow in moist but well-drained soils of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun with some shade or filtered sun in the mid afternoon hours. That said, Double Mint seems to take more sun than most other gardenia varieties. We have one planted here in Georgia that gets quite a bit of afternoon sun and it’s performing well. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other plant diseases. Does not require pruning but responds well to it for shaping purposes. if you prune do so after spring flowering. USDA Zones: 7a-9b Find Your Zone

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.

I ordered one 3 gallon size double mint gardenia on 5/21/23, it was shipped 5/23 and arrived on 5/26. I was immensely impressed with the plant size after unboxing it as the leaves were glossy green and there was no shipping damage to it. I warn you to ‘put your shades on’ because the glossy leaves reflect the sunlight ;-)! I live in gardening hardiness zone 8B and this has bloomed sporadically since I planted it but seems to be entering it’s bloom phase at this time, 7/8/23.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy your purchase for years to come!

I received the gardenia 3 weeks ago.Delivery was very fast and I got it within 3 days of my order in a very nice package., It is a beautiful healthy plant. It had buds when I got it.

Recently received two of the double mint gardenias. I’m very excited cause until not long ago those fragrant plants could not live outdoors in our climate zone. These have been developed to survive harsher winters. The true test will be to see how they do over the winter season but the delivery was smooth and easy and they look in great shape.———————————————————-Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. – Beth | WBG

Perfectly packaged for shipping, the plants arrived in perfect condition. They were in bud, and a week later we were treated to a heady, exquisite scent each time we went out to water them.
Only one complaint. Wilson Brothers sends me a newsletter every week or so and I can’t help but buy another little something for the garden, sigh.————————————–Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Sorry about the pesky newsletters! 😉 Beth | WBG

Shipping was super fast. Plant was so carefully packed, and arrived well and healthy. I hope it will be happy here in its new home. Thank you for such a marvelous job and for selling such healthy and strong looking plants.

Magnificent! Wilson Bros Gardens is the best Nursery we have ever encountered. Wonderful website, informative and the most beautiful and healthy plants by far. These arrived in less than 24 hrs., full of buds and blooms. They were packed so well not a speck of dirt was in the box. The fragrance is to die for.
Thank you so much.———————————Hi Judy, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Double Mint Gardenia. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review!! 🙂
