• Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen tropical shrub with glossy, dark green leaves 2 to 4 inches long and generally in whorls of three. The flowers are terminal or axillary, funnel shaped with 5 to 12 spreading lobes to 3 inches across, white to ivory and strongly fragrant.
• Gardenia jasminoides is a favorite in gardens worldwide. It originated in Asia and is most commonly found growing in Vietnam, Southern China, Taiwan, Japan and India.
• With its shiny green leaves and fragrant white summer flowers, it is widely used in gardens in warm temperate and subtropical climates. It has been in cultivation in China for at least a thousand years and was introduced to English gardens in the mid 18th century.
• In colder areas, Gardenias are grown as pot or larger container plants. They grow well in greenhouses and conservatories but can also thrive when placed outdoors during the summer months and returned to moderate indoor temperatures in the fall.
• They are prized for their large, very fragrant flowers and are quite often given as gifts to gardening enthusiasts.
