When it comes to incredible fragrance in the garden, nothing beats the fantastic aroma of gardenias. With its bright green, super glossy foliage and an extended blooming cycle of lusciously scented white flowers, this is a plant that offers outstanding attributes for the home landscape.
Gardenias are among our most grown plants, but they are also one of the least understood when it comes to culture. They are often put in the wrong spots, such as small, shady patios or excessively warm locations, which can cause the buds to drop. They prefer to be out in the open-not close to house walls.
Gardenias need acid soil, good drainage, adequate moisture, full sun in cooler areas and part shade in warmer areas. They also need regular fertilizing for growth and flowers, with an acid-type product that contains trace elements to prevent chlorosis.
Gardenias come in all types of shapes and sizes, making them versatile for many garden locations. Those with limited space can grow them in smaller containers; those with more space may want the patio trees.
We stock a great selection of gardenias that will make a perfect addition to your garden, and our staff of nursery professionals will be happy to help you choose the best size for your needs. So what are you waiting for? Come in and add some fragrance to your garden today!
