Gardenias: A Fragrance That Captivates
These world-class evergreens deserve a special place in every Southern garden.
These world-class evergreens deserve a special place in every Southern garden.
Sultry as a summer evening and as intoxicating as an exotic perfume,
the scent of gardenias settles like a memory onto your soul. The
blossoms are just as enticing. Buds shaped like seashells unfurl into
velvet soft flowers in the warmth and humidity of early evening. But
it's the fragrance that captivates.
A Good Friend
Gardenias (Gardenia jasminoides), or Cape jasmines, have been
adorning the gardens of the South for generations. They put on a big
show of blooms beginning as early as spring and continue to produce
flowers throughout the summer and into fall. Blossoms open white and
then fade to gold. Use these versatile shrubs as specimens, planted en
masse as hedges, or grown in containers.

Let potted plants grow naturally, or clip and train them as topiary standards. Place them on your deck or patio
where you can take advantage of their beautiful blooms and fragrance. A benefit of keeping gardenias in pots is
the ability to move them around as you like to enjoy their perfume.
The Whole Truth
Gardenias give a lot, and, to look their best, they want a bit in return. These plants love sun. They also lie a little
shade. So morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. Good air circulation is a must. They prefer moist, acid soil
that has good drainage with lots of organic matter, such as peat.
