Planting Tips & Instructions:
Refer to the included plant care guide for planting instructions. Gardenia plants like a planting spot with well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. Regular weekly watering is best for spring growth and bloom development. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming. Fertilize annually with an acidic fertilizer and prune to maintain shape as needed. The more sun the shrub gets the more flowers will open! Mulch the root zone to help retain moisture
