You are most welcome! Smiling It's nice to have a mix so the gardenia & loropetalum would look really nice together -- gardenia have nice deep green glossy leaves & you will get the fragrant white blooms --- just make sure to give them enough room & don't crowd things when you plant. Keep in mind their mature spread. I think planting too close together & too close to the house or porch rail is the biggest mistake people make.
Gardenias only come in white & there's no way to dye the blooms. But you can pick them & bring them in the house for a scent that is sure to make you think you died & went to heaven.

The two shrubs will play very nicely off of each other.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
