Dwarf Radicans Gardenia: Perfect for container planting or adding as a focal point to one’s garden, the Dwarf Radicans Gardenia tree features glossy green leaves, cotton-white blossoms, and an enchanting aroma.

Reaching heights of up to 25 feet, this columnar beauty fits into tight spaces, while bringing tons of interest to the yard—not only for its own eye-catching sight, but also for the pollinating wildlife it attracts.

6. Olive Tree Koroneiki: With a long tradition of being gifted as a gesture of peace and friendship, an olive tree not only elevates any space with its classic Mediterranean beauty, but it also produces rich, delicious fruit.
