Any true-Southerner will tell you that Gardenias are a 'must' in the south. Gardenias known for their scent. The deep green foliage and beautiful blooms are just an added bonus.
Gardenias are easy to grow and go great in just about any type of landscape. If taken care of properly, they will reward you for many, many years!
Quick Tips for Growing Gardenias:
- Keep the soil moist.
- Do not prune during blooming.
- Plant your Gardenia in full sun but protect from long, scorching days.
- Fertilize once a month using a liquid fertilizer at recommended strength.
- Do not allow the soil to dry out for days at the time. It will drop its leaves!
- Keep in mind that some people have allergies stimulated by the scent of Gardenias. Do not plant near by if you or a family member is allergic to Gardenia because it is highly fragrant and will quickly take it's toll.
