10' Gardenia Tree

 The evergreen Gardenia tree adds eye appeal and fragrance to a home landscape or patio. The tree is attractive with glossy green foliage and white flowers that appear from mid-spring through late summer in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. Gardenia, also referred to as Cape Jasmine, is native to China and will reach a height of 2 to 8 feet, depending on the variety and care given. In colder hardiness zones, gardenia trees can either be treated as a annuals or planted in containers so it is easy to bring them indoors during the fall and winter months. Indoor Gardenia Set the potted gardenia tree in an indoor area that receives full sunlight. Place the tree in a partially shaded outdoor location from spring through early fall. Monitor the soil moisture and water the plant when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid letting the gardenia tree's container sit in water, to prevent root rot.
