#ProPlantTips for Care:
Loving the full sun, and a touch of part shade, Gardenia do best where they are protected from the cold, drying winter winds. Preferring good air circulation and the morning sun and a touch of shade in the hottest southern sun, Gardenias shrugs off the high humidity of the south with ease! Water well while they're establishing, and plant in organically rich, well-draining soils.
Mulch the base of your plant to keep the roots stress-free and keep the foliage cleaner and problem-free. Prune after the flowers fade in the summer to tidy up their appearance.
- Full Sun
- Moist Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Prune After Flowering
- Shrugs Off Heat & High Humidity
- Deer Resistant, Low-Maintenance & Easy Care
Kleim's Hardy Gardenia will not only squeeze in just about anywhere, but its cold hardy nature and tenacious spirit are sure to make having one of these remarkable plants a reality for you this year. Order one for your garden today!
