Southern Living Diamond Spire® Gardenia
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
The Southern Living Diamond Spire™ Gardenia is a unique, upright-growing gardenia known for its columnar habit and fragrant white blooms. Unlike traditional gardenias that spread outward, Diamond Spire™ grows in a narrow, vertical form, typically reaching 3–4 feet in height and 2–3 feet in width.
Its glossy, deep green foliage provides a lush backdrop for the single, pure white flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. These blooms emit a classic gardenia fragrance, making it an excellent choice for sensory gardens, borders, or container planting.
This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining, acidic soil. It is relatively low-maintenance, with good resistance to common gardenia issues like leaf yellowing and fungal diseases. Diamond Spire™ is perfect for small gardens, tight spaces, or as an elegant vertical accent in landscapes.
