is a beautiful evergreen shrub originally from Asia. It features glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to its stunning flowers. In early summer, ‘Celestial Star’ blooms with large, creamy-white, highly fragrant flowers that attract bees and butterflies, adding sensory appeal to any garden.

This gardenia grows up to 1.5 meters in height and spread, making it ideal for borders or containers.
