Description
The Gardenia genus of flowering plants contains around 250 different species. These plants grow naturally in Asia, Africa, Australia and the Oceanic regions.
Gardenias are evergreens, meaning they retain their leaves year-round. They grow in a range from shrubs about 1 meter tall, to trees up to 15 m tall. Gardenia leaves are leathery to the touch, are thick, and grow in bunches of 2, 3 or even 4.
The flowers on a Gardenia
bush can grow by themselves or in clusters. They are
normally a light yellow or white in color, many with
a strong fragrance, and bloom from mid-spring to the
middle of the summer months.
