| Gardenias: A Fragrance That Captivates 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.
