GARDENIA
TAITENSIS
Tahitian Gardenia
Our
most popular Gardenia. It
is the national flower of Tahiti.
The glossy foliage can grow to a nice spread. However it can be trimmed
for size control.
Gardenia taitensis thrives on warm temperatures and full sun. It can
withstand a light frost but the plant will not look good. The ideal
temperature is above 50° at all times.
Will grow great in pot.
