Jubilation™ Gardenia Shrub

Jubilation™ is the Southern Living Plant Collection name for Gardenia jasminoides ‘Leeone’ PP21983, a compact evergreen shrub with fragrant, double white flowers and glossy dark green foliage, described by [Southern Living Plants](https://southernlivingplants.com/the-collection/plant/jubilation-gardenia/). It blooms heavily in spring, then reblooms through summer into fall; [Clemson Extension](https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/gardenia/) confirms the selection’s repeat flowering. Its 3- to 4-foot scale fits smaller gardens, foundation beds, containers, and fragrant hedges, with cultivar-specific soil and pruning guidance in the [Southern Living fact sheet](https://southernlivingplants.com/wp-content/uploads/Gardenia_Jubilation.pdf). ## Landscape Use Site Jubilation near a patio, walkway, or entry so the flower fragrance can be enjoyed. Its dense, compact form also works in a container, grouped as a low hedge, or placed in a mixed border. ## Seasonal Interest Evergreen foliage supplies year-round structure. Fragrant double white flowers begin in spring and rebloom sporadically through summer into fall; the exact flushes depend on local conditions. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun to partial shade in rich, acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Water deeply when planting and keep soil consistently moist during establishment and dry spells. A light mulch helps conserve moisture while keeping mulch away from the stems. ## Maintenance Shape after flowering to preserve the compact outline and encourage fresh growth. The cultivar fact sheet recommends shaping after spring bloom, while the current Southern Living listing advises pruning after fall bloom; prune lightly after the main flush in your climate.
