Beyond the cultivated patch, I will get a beautiful flower (8)

I believe the answer is:

gardenia

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

'beautiful flower' is the definition.
'gardenia' can be an answer for 'flower' (I have seen 'Fragrant flower ' mean 'gardenia' so perhaps 'flower' could also mean 'gardenia'). I am not certain of the 'beautiful' bit.

'beyond the cultivated patch i will get a' is the wordplay.
'beyond' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the cultivated patch' becomes 'garden' (garden is a kind of patch. I am not sure about the 'cultivated' bit.).
'will get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'garden' put next to 'i' is 'gardeni'.
'gardeni'+'a'='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" , "Bad drainage produces a fragrant flower" , "Waxlike flower" , "Fragrant tree or shrub" , "Evergreen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
