Special features

  • Beautiful white flowers
  • Fragrant

The white flowers on a Gardenia bush aren’t just for looking- the fragrance is second to none! These are perfect for your garden, or specific landscaping near the entryway of your house for a beautiful scent as you come home. The glossy evergreen leaves provide a nice color even when the flowers are not blooming.

Although Gardenia’s are well sought after for the features described above, they aren’t considered “easy to grow”. Don’t worry, I have full faith that you can make it work- but don’t sleep on these guys! They want special care and attention. For more care tips visit: Learn how to grow and care for your Gardenia
