I bought this hardy looking plant but no one at the shop knew what it was as it had no labelling. Can anyone identify it so I can know how to best take care of it?
Thanks!

3Hi and welcome to the site! Would you kindly tell us where you live? Knowing the region and climate can help people identify your plant.– Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GLFeb 5, 2015 at 23:56

It looks as if its had a flower of some sort (bottom centre of picture) - any hint of petal colour or type of flower?– BambooFeb 6, 2015 at 13:40

What does it smell like?– Danger14Feb 6, 2015 at 17:35

Wasn't there a picture with a flower bud before the edit? Perhaps that should be included again? (I can't at the moment...)– Stephie ♦Feb 8, 2015 at 7:43

I think it might be a Gardenia Jasminodes. @Sue, I live in Toronto, and right now it's snowy and cold ... but warm and generally humid in my apartment. The plant doesn't smell yet and the little buds are green. I think it's less dull than the photo makes it seem to be.– osephFeb 8, 2015 at 18:24

That's a Gardenia. They like acidic soil. Flowers are very fragrant!

Can you name some of the identifying features that make you think it's a Gardenia? That will help the asker a lot more. See our help center for more detail on how to write a great answer. Thanks! Feb 7, 2015 at 10:39

@user9750: I don't think this is a Gardenia, purely from the fact the leaves are not glossy, in fact, they're completely dull, so unless they're covered in dust, its unlikely to be Gardenia, although otherwise, I can see why you went for that.– BambooFeb 7, 2015 at 12:21

@user9750 I think so, too. The r/whatisthisplant subreddit seems to think the same.– osephFeb 8, 2015 at 18:23
