Few gifts announce themselves the way a gardenia does - one open bloom is enough to fill an entire room with a sweet, heady perfume that lingers long after you've left.
details
- Ivory-white blooms set against deep, glossy green foliage for a striking contrast that looks right at home on a tabletop, shelf, or windowsill
- May arrive in bud form - flowers open within days of delivery, so the scent builds gradually rather than fading fast
- Arrives potted in a ceramic planter (4.5" diameter), standing 8"–10" tall, ready to display with no arrangement or repotting needed
- Ships fresh from the farm in a gift box, backed by a 14-day lush plant guarantee
- Care: Place in bright, direct light (6–8 hours daily). Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Thrives in temperatures of 60–70°F with high humidity - a kitchen or bathroom windowsill is ideal. In USDA Zones 7 and above, the plant can move outdoors to a sheltered spot once temperatures stay warm, with about 1 inch of water per week
PERFECT FOR
- A Mother's Day gift for someone who notices fragrance before anything else
- Sending comfort during a sympathy or get-well moment - white blooms carry quiet meaning
- A housewarming gift that scents the room before they've even finished unpacking
- Anyone who loves cut flowers but wants something that lasts longer than a bouquet
- Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, or thank-yous that call for more than a card
FAQs
Will the gardenia be blooming when it arrives?
The plant may arrive with closed buds rather than open flowers. This is normal - buds typically unfurl into fragrant blooms within a few days of delivery, so the recipient gets to watch it come to life.
How strong is the scent?
Pleasant and noticeable without being overpowering. A single open bloom gently fragrances a full room.
Can I plant this gardenia outdoors?
Yes, in USDA Zones 7 and above. Move it to a protected spot with full sun to light shade once nighttime temperatures are consistently warm. Water about 1 inch per week outdoors.
Is this a good gift for a beginner plant owner?
Gardenias are moderately care-conscious - they do best with consistent light, moisture, and humidity. If the recipient can give it a sunny window and regular watering, they'll be rewarded with beautiful, fragrant blooms. It asks for a bit more attention than a pothos or succulent, but the scent alone makes up for it.
What's included?
The gardenia plant arrives potted in a ceramic planter, packaged in a gift box. No vase, soil, or assembly required - it's ready to display immediately.
