A new acquisition, I bought it as "Gardenia Vietnam Star".. I liked the flower and the unusual seed pods. Have never seen it before. The tag said "Ideal for tropical climates. This evergreen perennial has beautiful perfumed flowers, bushy habit with average height of 1.5m. Prune after flowering. Water well during flowering season. Full sun." It does have a sweet smell, but not strong. It's flowering well now. And I've noticed in full sun it tends to wilt a bit, although perhaps it needs more water than it's been getting.
