Rating for this plant:
Beautiful, white double flowers 6-8 cm that are heavily fragranced, larg leaves. Plant near a north facing wall or I guess south facing if you're in the northern hemisphere and you can grow it in a temperate region. Gardenias are native to tropical or subtropical Africa, Australasia, south Asia, Pacific islands such as Polynesia, Micronesia, Solomon islands, Fijian islands etc. Give protection from frosts and winds, grow in rich loamy soil but apart from that not hard to grow. Dark green, almost glossy foliage in addition to classicly beautful flowers and heavy scent makes it a good all year around garden addition.

I like this opinion
