I absolutely love Gardenias, but we never have good luck with them. We just bought 3 more Gardenia bushes and were wondering about the best type of care for them. Thank you |
Vicki, Gardenias love moist soil conditions but need good drainage so it doesn't stay soggy. They prefer a slightly acidic soil and respond well to fertilizers for acid loving plants. Work a few inches of compost or peat moss into the planting bed prior to planting. Provide them a location with plenty of morning sun but some afternoon shade if you can. Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
