Culture
Plant ScentAmazing Gardenia in locations that provide well-drained soils and part sun. In our gardens we plant Gardenias where they will receive morning to early afternoon sun with mid-afternoon shade or filtered sun. Late afternoon and evening sun is okay. Gardenias prefer an acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0. Alkaline soil can cause chlorosis and dimished blooming. That being said, yellowing and shedding of older leaves right before or after flowering is normal. To increase soil acidity add soil sulfur, chelated iron and/or aluminum sulfate. Pruning is not required however can be done after bloom to maintain a more dense plant. Ceasing pruning two months prior to the first typical frost date in your area.
How To Plant a Shrub in a Container or Pot
Much better plant thicker branches. Thank you very much God Bless Tresa
Thank you Tresa!
It's still going strong and the scent is amazing. When the flowers are spent they don't look so attractive before falling off however, it is exactly what I was looking for as far as fragrance and gorgeous blooms.
These gardenias arrived in excellent condition and were full of buds. They have since bloomed & are absolutely gorgeous!
