Gardenia jasminoides 'Sweet Star'

Plant Gardenia in sheltered borders or containers in any well drained, rich fertile, neutral to acid soil. Choose a sheltered position in dappled or semi shade. Water regularly until Gardenia plants are fully established. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the soils acidity over time.

Feed hardy Gardenia plants regularly throughout the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Whilst this variety of Gardenia is perfectly hardy, it will appreciate some winter protection during particularly cold periods. In very cold climates, container-grown plants may be moved to a cool, frost-free position for the winter. In spring, lightly prune stems to maintain their shape.
