You’re so lucky you can grow these outside, very very insanely lucky! I want to try more gardenia this summer hopefully I can grow them and overwinter well also I’ve done it with crown jewel and the summer blooms were insane! Love them so much

I just bought 2 last week at Walmart. $10.88 each. Southern Living. So hot here in Fl, i potted them up.
They are doing great so far.

I bought a 2gal size Jubilaion last yr from Southern Living and it bloomed heavily in the first flush..and then moderately a couple of times before the cold weather late fall...Im in 7b as well in kind of a micro climate in Queens NY off LI sound and as far as growth..it did almost triple in size from the time i bought it in that one season..i did baby it and fed it Proven Winners soluable ferts each week and got amazing growth..its now going into its second season and its from top of the pot its about 30in. tall and approx 4ft wide...so i do recommend this plant..one thing that you mentioned is true that the blooms dont last on the plant as long as (for instance) the Steady as She Grows gardenia from Proven Winners but these flowers are larger and more just purchased 2 more 2gal. plants from Amazon at a good price and quick shipping ..and potted em up under my bedroom window in full southern exposure..so i should get some amazing scent trails wafting in in the upcoming warm are quite cold tolerant however i did frost "bag" my first one for a few weeks in late Jan through Feb and beginning of March..it did very well ..i did it just in case as it was my first Jubilation...i recently uncovered it and gave it a drink of half stregnth ferts...Tip..PW has a great soluable fett product and it contains a mineral to keep the leaves from turning yellow..alot of ferts do not have that benefit..I hope you guys have as much luck w/urs as I have wih

My 3 Jubilation Gardenia's arrived yesterday. I had to remove many yellow leaves. I put down some coffee grounds and gave them a little water and recovered the top with the mulch. I can't put them in the ground yet because sometimes in April we will have another freeze. Im in the Florida panhandle near Pensacola. Our winters can be unpredictable. I may not plant in the ground. I don't think they would make it through a cold winter we had this year. If I do, I will have to cover them with lots of good insulating straw plus garden blankets. They are loaded with buds right now. They are going to have a big bloom in April. I can't wait to smell & see them bloom. My planter near my front door, I have readied the soil for them all winter.

I recently bought 2 of your gardenias & they are very healthy but they are dropping buds. What should I do? Thank you.

I just planted 3 in my garden :) how long has that one been there planted?

[pandora]

May I ask if you still have it now? Is it still about 3-4 feet tall and wide? I heard some people’s dwarf gardenias grow much bigger.

The blooms don’t last as long in full sun especially hot afternoon sun verses morning sun and partial shade in afternoon. That’s what I have found in my research.

My blooms are starting out yellow. I’ve asked them, but they don’t know why it is happening. I want white blooms, not yellow. Otherwise, it’s nice.
