Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

The Diamond Spire® Gardenia stands apart from other gardenias with its striking, columnar habit and long bloom season. This evergreen shrub grows 3–4 feet tall and just 2 feet wide, creating a slender spire of glossy, dark-green foliage. From late spring through fall, it produces elegant, single white blooms with the classic fragrance gardenias are known for. Its vertical form adds sophistication to gardens where space is limited, making it an ideal solution for entrances, borders, and containers.

Why We Love It

At Creekside, we love plants that combine timeless beauty with modern versatility, and Diamond Spire is a perfect example. It delivers the intoxicating fragrance of gardenias but in a refined, upright package that fits where rounder shrubs can’t. Blooming from spring into fall, it offers months of flowers, and its evergreen foliage ensures year-round polish. Whether as a “thriller” in containers or a fragrant hedge along a walkway, this gardenia adds elegance with very little effort.
