#4 Plant for a Hamptons garden in the subtropics
The GARDENIA radicans is a dwarf variety that requires little attention and keeps a small tight form in good sunlight.A great place to plant these is near an entrance or entertaining area so the intoxicating perfume of the white flowers can be fully enjoyed.The roselike flowers almost have a luminous quality in the morning light against its foliage.
Large glossy green leaves have a slight waxy shiny appearance, and looks great next to a taller clippedlily pilly hedge.
