Azalea 'Hardy Gardenia' Double White Blooms

Evergreen Azalea -

Linwood Hybrid

Zones 6b-9

Dr. Charles Fischer of Linwood, NJ, decided to start hybridizing azaleas for the azalea’s florist potential in the North. Cold tolerance had to be tested. Double blooms was a plus. Being easy to force into a bloom was a necessity. Lastly, the flowers had to be exquisite. ‘Hardy Gardenia’ checked off all these boxes. ‘Hardy Gardenia’ has one of the most simple and beautiful 2.5 inch double hose-in-hose blooms. The pure white color adds quite a bit of character to the garden. ‘Hardy Gardenia’ is a slow grower reaching 3-4 ft in height  by 3-4 ft in width in 10 years. 

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have hundreds of azalea cultivars, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the azaleas you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
