Gardenia may cause mild gastrointestinal upset or hives if ingested. If Stussy ate a small amount, you may not see any signs, larger quantities may warrant a visit to your veterinarian. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, itching or swelling. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/gardenia
