The Gardenias are blooming! The fragrance is amazing. I follow *Margaret Moseley’s advice and have a Gardenia planted every 25 feet or so where conditions allow. According to Margaret the fragrance will permeate the entire garden. And it does.
Every Gardenia in my garden came from a bouquet she gifted me when I lost a bidding war over a house. Turned out to be a good thing….that house was not right, and I got these fabulous plants!

Wow, I like that idea alot! I have a small yard and I’d love to have the fragrance of gardenias wherever I’m working. Some of my favorite plants come from cuttings or gifts from friends. Sweet.
Gardenias are blooming in my garden as well. I want to pull a couple off the shrub to bring in the house but I can’t bear to. I love the scent while sitting on the swing!

I love plants with history.
There is nothing quite like the smell of gardenias. I wonder if I should put one in a pot, outside.
Don’t stop at one. They are so handsome even when they are not in bloom.
I can smell them now! So Southern and so fragrant – and a good idea to plant them at equal intervals, too.
Another of the wonders of southern gardening!
