Hardy Gardenia "Summer Snow" in Zone 7

I've had a lot of fun growing Hardy Gardenias over the year. I've tried Crown Jewel. Frostproof, and Summer Snow. Out of the three, Summer Snow is my favorite.



It has huge, gorgeous leaves you'd expect with a gardenia and flowers that are identical to their more subtropical and more common varieties. I believe I planted it in 2016, 7 years ago.

These plants don't bloom after cold winters, but they do come back - sometimes from the ground. This year Summer Snow had minor leaf burn which isn't too bad considering it had only a few frost cloths on it during our 6F low temperature this winter. It's bloomed twice so far this summer, but I'm hoping for a few more!
