Magnifica Gardenia - Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica'
Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' is the large flowered gardenia, producing double white blooms up to 100mm across with the heavy sweet scent that defines the genus. It builds a rounded shrub to around 2m, taller and broader than the widely planted Florida and Radicans forms, so it works as a structural shrub rather than a border edge. It is chosen where flower size and fragrance carry the planting, typically close to a door, path or living area.
Why Magnifica Gardenia
Large double flowers: The blooms are substantially bigger than those of the compact gardenia forms, which is the point of growing this one.
Powerful fragrance: Scent is strongest in the evening, making it a plant for outdoor living areas used after dark.
Long flowering run: It flowers through the warm months in flushes rather than in a single short display.
Glossy year round foliage: Deep green lacquered leaves keep the shrub presentable between flushes.
Rounded natural shape: It forms an even dome with little intervention, so shaping is a light tip prune after flowering rather than structural work.
Ideal Applications
Entry and doorway planting: Sited where people pass, the evening fragrance does the work no visual element can.
Massed low screen: Planted at 1 to 1.5m centres it closes into a fragrant informal hedge to about 2m.
Pool and terrace pots: It grows well in large containers with acidic potting mix, useful around paving where beds are limited.
Understorey in filtered light: It performs beneath high open canopy where full sun would scorch and yellow the leaves.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1 to 1.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 1.5 to 2m
Best Planting Season: Spring or autumn, avoiding frost periods and extreme summer heat
Soil & Drainage: Moist, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.0 to 6.0) rich in organic matter; avoid alkaline or waterlogged conditions
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly during the first two years to establish a strong root system, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base and feed with an acidic fertiliser in spring and summer to encourage healthy foliage and prolific flowering.
