Gardenia Pucci Standard - 20cm Pot

Gardenia ‘Professor Pucci’ (Standard) is a classic, elegant feature plant prized for its large, creamy-white double flowers and unforgettable fragrance. Trained as a standard, it forms a neat, elevated canopy.

This variety is especially valued for its extra-large, soft-petalled blooms, which are long-lasting and highly perfumed, making it one of the most luxurious gardenias available. The flowers sit beautifully against glossy, dark green foliage, creating a timeless, high-contrast look.

Ideal as a feature plant in pots or garden beds, Professor Pucci is perfect for positioning near entrances, patios or windows where its fragrance can be fully appreciated.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained, slightly acidic soil for best performance.

Water regularly, especially during warmer months and while establishing. Gardenias prefer consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions.

Feed with a gardenia or acid-loving plant fertiliser in spring and summer to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Light pruning after flowering will help maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Protect from heavy frost and strong winds for best results.
