The flower of the gardenia shrub (3 to 6 inches long) is popular because of its flowers that emit a really sweet smell. These flowers have creamy-white petals and are often compared to the white rose because both flowers are associated with courtship and love.
The scientific name of the Gardenia is Gardenia jasminoides, a plant which originally came from China. Gardenias have been cultivated in other parts of the world, and they grow just anywhere as long as there is adequate heat and sunlight. Gardenias grow only on acidic lands and they need water. The shrubs will be able to reach up to six feet. This plant was named after a South Carolina physician, Alexander Garden.
Gardenias are in full bloom come May, and the flowers usually last until late July. This shrub will still produce a couple of flowers for the rest of the year.
