This plant is 3 to 6 ft in height and bears white coloured fragrant flowers in the month of October. Fruit setting starts during the month of December and lasts up to the month of February. Seeds are light green in colour. About 150 to 250 gm brilliant gardenia seeds and 100 gm ocher are crushed and added to 1 L of water.
