Gardenia jasminoides (Cape Jasmine) 13cm Pot

The Gardenia (Jasminoides) is sometimes known as the Cape Jasmine. When looked after properly, the Gardenia will provide deliciously scented, creamy white, rose-like flowers for months on end. These flowers will scent your living room with an entirely natural jasmine-like fragrance day and night. Its attractive dark green shiny leaves ensure the plant’s decorative value even when not in bloom. The Gardenia can also be sited outside on a terrace or balcony during warmer periods. However, keep in mind this is a tropical-germinated plant and needs to spend winter indoors.

Care:

• Light, sunny spot.
• Ideal temperature 18 – 25 ºC.
• Keep damp, compost must not dry out.
• Do not leave excess water in saucer/dish.
• Water with soft water or rain water.
• Apply fertiliser twice a month.
• Remove dead heads of flowers.
