From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardenia
Gardenias have a reputation for being difficult to grow. Because they originated in warm humid tropical areas, they demand high humidity to thrive. They flourish in acidic soils with good drainage. Potting soils developed especially for gardenias are available.
Unless you are in the deep south, I would not recommend Gardenias. Do you want a flowering bush or pretty flowers? If it is the later, you may want to consider Daylilies
Daylilies are relatively hardy, can handle both heat and dry and heat and humid--I had them in New Mexico and I have them in Mississippi.
