I want to know if it would be suitable to grow in a pot that is a little less than 40cm across (internal measurement) by 35cm high (or possibly a little more).
I’d appreciate your help.
Also do you know who grows this gardenia and where I may be able to buy it?

 

Answer:  Hi Mary,  All gardenias need at least a 60cm pot to grow well. They love duck poo too. Try Googling Buy gardenia true Love.  Don
