Gardenia

Gardenias were flowering plants that grew in Cormanthor, Zakhara, and even the plane of Outlands.

Use
Apart from decorative purposes, gardenias were used in perfume-making. Anorrweyn Evensong of ancient Myth Drannor wore gardenia perfume and after her death, her ghost emitted the same pleasant aroma.

Gardenia aromatic oils could cost up to 200 pieces of gold.

In Ysawis, the City of the Dead of Zakhara, undead servants tended flower garden filled with begonias, violets, and orchids.

Outside the Prime Material plane, gardenias grew in the Palace of Judgment, one of the realms in the Outlands.
