As the pictures show, Double Gardenia is really a yellow daylily and not a near white.
In my garden the flowers are larger than registered at 4.25". It also blooms mid-late (registered midseason). Despite being registered as not reblooming it did rebloom for me in 2019. Typically blooming in July, it also sent up a scape in mid-September.
Overall I give Double Gardenia high marks. It is almost always a double flower. It blooms well in both sun and partial shade. It increases well and isn't set back after dividing. I've never seen it bothered by any pests and it always puts on a good show.

Although registered as an evergreen, in my garden Double Gardenia dies back after the first hard frost and does not reappear until spring. This is true even in years with very mild temperatures during winter.
