My new gardenia's are blossoming beautifully but are quickly turning brown, do i clip them once brown and why do they turn brown so quickly? |
Melanie, I am sorry for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! They may be browning due to a fungal blight. Such diseases are common during rainy weather or when you are sprinkler irrigating the plants which wets the blooms frequently. If they can stay dry for a while the problems should go away. In the meantime you can trim of the brown blooms if you like. Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon! |
