Gardenia Bush

Gardenia Bush 

(Gardenia jasminoides)

Fragrant. Elegant. Evergreen.

The gardenia bush is a timeless Southern favorite, known for its lush green foliage and heavenly white blooms that perfume the air with a sweet, floral scent. Native to warm climates, this evergreen shrub thrives in Central Florida’s landscape, making it a beautiful addition to garden beds, borders, or containers.

Growing Tips:

• Light: Prefers partial shade to full sun

• Soil: Well-draining, acidic soil

• Water: Keep consistently moist, but not soggy

• Bloom Time: Late spring to early summer (and often again in fall)

Gardenias are ideal for hedges, walkways, or focal points—anywhere you want elegance and fragrance.
