The Jubilation® Gardenia is a refined take on a Southern classic, delivering intoxicating fragrance, elegant form, and repeat blooms in a compact, easy-to-manage shrub. Celebrated as a standout reblooming gardenia, this variety produces lush, double white gardenia flowers with a rich, nostalgic perfume that lingers in the air and invites you to slow down and savor the moment. This hardy gardenia is part of the Southern Living Plant Collection.

The first heavy flush of blooms arrives in late spring, followed by additional waves of flowers through summer and into fall. Each bloom opens creamy white and full, creating a striking contrast against the plant’s glossy, deep green foliage. Whether planted near an entryway, along a walkway, or beside a patio, the Jubilation Gardenia transforms everyday spaces into sensory experiences filled with scent and timeless beauty.

Unlike larger, more unruly gardenias, Gardenia Jubilation maintains a naturally tidy, rounded shape, reaching just 3–4 feet tall and about 3 feet wide at maturity. This compact habit makes it an ideal gardenia bush for modern landscapes, smaller gardens, and containers—offering all the romance of a traditional gardenia without the maintenance.

Versatile and dependable, this gardenia plant shines as a low hedge, mass planting, accent shrub, or container specimen. Planted in groups, it creates a fragrant tapestry of blooms; planted alone, it becomes a graceful focal point. However it’s used, the Jubilation Gardenia brings enduring elegance, classic Southern charm, and a season-long display of white blooms that never goes out of style.

Popular Companion Plants for the Jubilation Gardenia

These beauties complement a wide range of plant types.

• Plant them in front of a screen of tall pyramidal evergreens, like Juniper Trees. Their dwarf size and rounded habit contrast beautifully with the upright and pointed trees. Otherwise, the bright yellow Forever Goldy Arborvitae is a unique alternative to traditional ornamental trees.
• Plant them with some other popular selections from the Southern Living Plant Collection, many of them are specifically chosen to go together beautifully. Two good options are the Sunshine Ligustrum and Purple Diamond Loropetalum. They both have highly contrasting foliage and thrive when planted in the same conditions as the Jubilation.
• Create a Jasmine Garden by planting them with other jasmine-scented plants, such as Star Jasmine and Fragrant Tea Olives.
