My mom got this from my sister for Mothers Day. It doesn’t have any tags and there are no more left from the box store.

Might be some kind of Gardenia.
Does it smell wonderful?

Azalea? Saw something like that in a local store but pink, didn’t read the label but it looked like azalea.

Azalea as well. Gardenia foliage is more substantial and glossy.
One smell will eliminate gardenia (they are highly fragrant)

It actually doesn’t smell, or at least to me.
Googling those two it looks like both. It doesn’t have much of a fragrance so it must be an Azalea Tree right?
It is azalea, double flower.

Thanks everyone for the help. She says its an Azalea too, now that I told her. I’ll get her a big pot and pot it up for her. She’s to old to take care of plants so I take care of her plants.

Keep the potting mix acidic.

Thanks, I have some Alum I used to tan some deer skins with that has pictures of Azaleas on the bag. I guess it will change the colors too.

That’s weird, I was reading about using aluminum sulfate with azaleas and a lot of articles say it’s toxic to the roots. I knew it was toxic, but the bag itself acts like it’s the stuff acid loving plants like. I did know you don’t want to eat any plants that you feed it to because it’s toxic to us. Glad I didn’t use it.
I picked an old thread to ask a question about a plant growing in my yard.Is this a Mint or maybe Sage?Thanks,bb
Looks like catnip.
I get half a dozen plants a year just from volunteers.

Have you seen the flowers? If so, what color? Catnip would be white, catmint purple.
