Description

Gardener's World White is a low-growing, well-branched variety that produces large, round clusters of overlapping, twirled, gardenia-like white flowers, approximately 2.5 inches across, with pink edges or bands on the reverse and a yellow to gold center. Some reports cite flowers up to 4.5 inches. The petals have good texture and often do not open fully. The plant blooms profusely but is noted as not vigorous, with very thin branches that swoop and spread, pointed leaves that appear more prone to insects, and a glossy green trunk with attractive texture.
