Anant carries the heaviest, sweetest scent of any flower we grow, and it opens white and turns cream as it ages. It wants warmth, acid soil and a bright spot out of the harshest afternoon sun. Fussier than the jasmines, and worth it for the two months it flowers.

What it actually does

Scents a whole balcony

The flowers open after sunset and the scent carries far further than the plant's size suggests.

Carries a story

Traditionally — Known as Gandharaj, king of scent, and as Anant in Maharashtra. Used in temple offerings and worn in hair on the same occasions as mogra, though it is the rarer of the two and reads as the more deliberate choice.

Where it comes from

Gardenia jasminoides is native to southern China and Japan, and reached Indian gardens through colonial-era nurseries. It is an acid-loving plant in a country of alkaline soils, which is the single reason most people find it difficult - it is not delicate, it is just growing in the wrong pH.

Vastu placement is a traditional belief, and we include it because people ask. Nothing here is a claim about health. How we treat vastu, and what it does not do.
