Comments (5)Thanks for the note. It gives me a lot of relief. I have a follow-up question on fertilization. When we planted these, we added some Osmocote pellets 1 inch below the soil. Do I need to fertilize each growing season? When is the best time to fertilize? Also am I just supposed to remove the mulch and spread the Osmocote or some other way? Sorry I am a novice gardener (or if there is any word to describe a stage even prior to that lol)....See MoreHelp with Gardenias
Comments (3)Steve, Remove the stones back farther from the gardenias. Place PINE bark mulch around the bottom of the shrubs. They like mulch, the stones will get too hot in the summer months. Don't put anything else on them. Gardenias always get yellow leaves on them in the fall. That is normal. You will see it every fall. it doesn't mean anything is wrong with them. They look pretty good. Don't overwater them, they will get root rot. You will see them browning from the bottom up and that is not good. Browning leaves from the bottom up is bad. Good luck with them. Never fertilize them when they are blooming, only in spring before they bloom....See MoreHelp with Gardenias. Some are good. Some are not. Pics attached.
Comments (3)These do not look at all gardenia like to me. Of course I have gardenia brighamii growing in zone 7........ The wonderful fragrance of the flowers is strong for such a tiny shrub, can't wait until it gets bigger. I had horrible winter die-back the first year (almost to the ground) but it has recovered wonderfully over the past 5 years....See More- 18 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
