Product Description
The hardiest, most floriferous Gardenia yet, Crown Jewel is a great variety, that is only just being seen in the UK! Just as stunning and as fragrant as its indoor relative, its snowy white, waxy, star-shaped flowers completely smother its exquisite evergreen leaves from early June.
The scent of gardenias is so gorgeous its often used in perfume, so imagine sitting on your patio this summer surrounded by its intoxicatingly sweet fragrance heavenly! A beautifully compact shrub, Gardenia Crown Jewel is very easy to grow and care for. Simply plant it in a pot or garden border, preferably using ericaceous compost, and it will happily grow and flourish outdoors all year round.

APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE. The pair of citrus trees I bought arrived damaged and in very poor condition. I immediately rang the customer service centre and was told I would get a full refund and my return postage refunded if I emailed photos to their head office team, which I did. However I was offered either to keep them with a 50% refund, or return them at my expense. I tried to telephone the person who emailed me to discuss the issue but the number she gave me was the general call centre and they told me they could not give me a telephone number for her (not what I call good customer service) so we could only communicate by email. The direct selling laws state that a customer does not have to pay to return faulty/damaged goods but pointing this out made no difference. The cost of returning them was prohibitive and so I am left with 2 substandard trees. I will not be shopping there again.
