There are few plants that have such an exotic fragrance as the evergreen shrub, gardenia. From summer to autumn, the large, showy flowers open white, fading to deep ivory over time. Plant in lime-free (ericaceous) compost and top-dress plants every spring, and apply a monthly fertiliser during the growing season. Also water plants with rain or distilled water to help reduce lime build-up in the compost.
