Gardenia jasminoides
Gardenia jasminoides, commonly known as the gardenia or cape jasmine, is a beloved flowering shrub that is highly prized for its exquisite, fragrant blossoms. Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves that are oval or lance-shaped. The plant produces large, white or creamy-white flowers with a distinct, intoxicating fragrance. The flowers are typically double or semi-double, with overlapping petals that give them a rose-like appearance. They bloom from late spring to mid-summer.
The plant is sensitive to cold temperatures, so it is best suited for growing in containers and being brought indoors during winter.
The plants prefer consistently moist soil. However, they are also sensitive to overwatering and waterlogged conditions. Regular feeding with a balanced, acidic fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants can help promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Gardenia jasminoides is a stunning flowering shrub that captivates with its beautiful blossoms and enchanting fragrance. They are associated with love, purity, and grace.
