It's highly praised for its alluring creamy white flowers and glossy, emerald green leaves.

Environment
For best results, place your Gardenia Jasminoides Plant in an area with bright indirect sunlight or partial shade. Consider sheltering it from cold temperatures and strong winds to prevent winter burn. This plant is moderately drought-tolerant, but it thrives in rich, acidic, well-drained soil. Try to avoid planting near trees with shallow roots, as this can harm the plant. To maintain its shape, prune in the spring and remove spent flowers to encourage blooming. Please note that fertilizing in the fall may cause the plant to produce delicate, frost-sensitive growth.
