A more upright habit, supporting shiny, dark green leaves and fragrant, white 2- to 3-inch wide flowers make this a fine hedge or foundation plant that thrives with more direct sun than other varieties. Flower buds resist late spring frosts without damage and it's evergreen. 'Frostproof' is a prolific bloomer of fragrant 2-3" flowers. This new cultivar has a distinctive cup in the middle of the blossom, and the blooming season lasts from spring to fall. The plant has a nice symmetrical upright form with very attractive narrow green foliage that's about half the size of standard gardenia leaves. It can be maintained at a compact 12-14" tall in a pot, but grows to about 3' tall outdoors. It requires moist, somewhat acidic, soil and full to partial sun. As the name implies, it's more tolerant of early frosts. Hardy to zone 6 with protection.
