Gardenia
Gardenia jasminoides
Gardenias are evergreen shrubs with glossy, dark green leaves and highly fragrant, creamy-white flowers. Native to Asia, these plants are renowned for their scent, which fills the air when they bloom in late spring and early summer. Gardenias are a bit finicky but worth the effort for their lovely fragrance and striking flowers.
