Florida is one of the most well-known Gardenia cultivars due to its huge, double milky-white flowers that are prominently exhibited atop glossy, dark green foliage. Ideal garden shrubs should be placed in a warm, protected area, especially in cooler areas. They can be potted or hedged. 1-1.2m in height; 1m in width. From late spring through the warmer months, you can enjoy perfume. Large, double, white flowers that bloom in the spring and summer. A deep, well-structured soil that has been improved with compost or manure is necessary for gardenia growth (cow or horse). They prefer chilly, moist, acidic, well-drained soils. Due to a magnesium deficit, overly alkaline soil might result in yellowing of the leaves. Applying Epsom salts will help to remedy this. To shape, lightly prune.
