When we bought our house 5 years ago there was a beautiful gardenia planted near the walkway. My mother in law cut it down thinking it would grow back but it hasn't. Where it was cut down, it showing green like it is trying to grow. How can i help it along? Thanks. |

| Darn, I bet you wish she wouldn't be so 'helpful'! It looks like it will be coming back, but you just have to be patient. It might be bigger and better than ever, but it takes time. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

I don't know the right way to do this but I accidentally mowed down my daughter's Gardenia. It took a while but it did grow back. Don't give up hope.  Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| Hi and welcome to NGA! I'm with Tiffany - I don't know of any gardenia that has serrated edges! Do you by any chance have a picture of the flower? That said, just feed the bajeebers out of it .. don't use the time release stuff, use the 1 tablespoon per gallon stuff and feed it once a week. Until we know what kind of plant it is, use an all purpose food. Normally, gardenia love acid food. "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. " Abraham Lincoln |
