Plant in Grenada I built (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gardenia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plant in' is the definition.
'gardenia' can be an answer for 'plant' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in' bit.

'grenada i built' is the wordplay.
'built' indicates an anagram (the same letters can be used to build the answer).
'grenada'+'i'='grenadai'
'grenadai' with letters rearranged gives 'GARDENIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gardenia that I've seen before include "Drainage for shrub with white or yellow flowers" , "Shrub; drainage (anag.)" , "Fragrant tree or shrub" , "Shrub with fragrant flowers - in Grade A (anag)" , "Drainage (anag) -- plant" .)
