    Features

    Pillow Talk gardenia will keep your garden from hitting snooze. Arriving in abundance in the springtime, its thick-petaled glowing white blooms almost cover the shiny evergreen foliage. With a wider-than-tall habit, it makes a great addition to the front of the border. This positioning also makes it easier to enjoy the spicy, floral scent!
