Glorious Gardenias Market Opens for Hawaii's Growers

Gardenia plant in bloom

50-year-old ban no longer in the way!

There's nothing quite like the sweet, exotic scent of a creamy-white gardenia. Its been said that the rich fragrance of a single blossom can perfume an entire room. Perhaps best known as a corsage flower for a prom, wedding, or other special occasion, a gardenia also makes a great gift as a potted plant. With plentiful buds and dark, glossy leaves, the potted plant is an attractive addition to a deck, patio, or garden in any climate where it can thrive—including much of the southern United States.
