A hardy gardenia with very fragrant double flowers.
Native to South Carolina, 'Crown Jewel' is a selection of Gardenia with a frost tolerance of -10° C, or even lower depending on planting conditions.
In June-July, this shrub produces very attractive double blooms giving off a powerful perfume.
Its flowers are more abundant compared with those of the parent plants, especially 'Kleim's Hardy', and sometimes come out later. Some flowers still bloom at the end of summer.
The medium-sized white flowers which can reach 6-7 cm in diameter offer a good contrast to the attractive glossy dark green leaves, smaller than in other varieties. This one stays evergreen in winter.
The shrub has a dwarf, spreading growth, compact and well-branched. It is a low grower.
'Crown Jewel' can therefore be used outside most of the time, in beds, in pots, near the house, on a terrace, a balcony, where the double flowers with their fine scent will be especially appreciated in summer.

A resistant hebe, easy to grow and highly ornamentalHebe 'Celebration' is a highly ornamental variety that we have chosen for its resistance and easy cultivation. It has variegated, almost two-toned leaves: dark green along the central nerve and very light green across the width of the leaf, with a light pink edging.The overall effect is of a dense and very bright foliage. Its highly colourful flowers add to its interest. Numerous clusters of melliferous flowers of an intense magenta appear at the end of May and continue through the summer. It's a robust plant which naturally forms a well-branched, dome-shaped shrub with a tendancy to spread with age. It makes an excellent shrub for your garden or patio. A higher resistance to excess water makes it less sensitive to phytophtora than classic varieties.As a plant originating in coastal climates, this veronica may need to be protected from frost in winter.
