Not unless its Gardenia 'Kleim's Hardy', no, its a houseplant.

hi the pot did not have what type it was on it how can you tell please?

You could google Gardenia Kleims Hardy for pics of what it looks like, but if you bought your plant from inside/indoors at the garden centre or Tescos or somewhere, it'll be the houseplant one. The hardy one would only be available at garden centres, and would be stood outdoors for sale, even if under a bit of shade.

many thanks
