    This rare gardenia has large, pinwheel-shaped, single blooms that emit a sweet fragrance. Because of its everblooming qualities, Tahitian Gardenia is a favorite for any fragrance garden. The broad leaves of this Polynesian native act as a green backdrop to highlight the white curling flowers. Grow in full sun and warm temperatures for best results.
