Gardenia is a beautiful and delicately scented flowering plant that is native to tropical and subtropical regions. With its white, waxy petals and glossy green leaves, it is a popular choice for gardens and floral arrangements. Gardenias are known for their intoxicating fragrance, which is often described as sweet, floral, and slightly citrusy. They are often used in perfume making and aromatherapy for their calming and soothing properties. Gardenias require specific care and attention to thrive, including well-drained soil, regular watering, and plenty of sunlight.
