Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant gardenias in a location with partial shade to filtered sunlight. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal, especially in hot climates like Mississippi.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Place the gardenia in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
- Spacing:Space gardenias according to their mature size, typically about 3 to 6 feet apart.
- Care:Water newly planted gardenias regularly until established. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove dead or weak branches.
