White gardenia flower
Have you noticed how good the gardenias are at the moment?
Gardenias are those shrubs, mostly around knee-high that produce the stunning pure white flowers with the sensuous perfume.
Gardenias are fabulous plants: they flower for most of the year, they are really hardy and they are small enough to fit into any garden .
What do they need? Well they love duck poo, but chook poo like Dynamic Lifter will do fine. They love humidity, heat and being watered.
There is a ground covering prostrate gardenia called radicans and the best shrubby one are ‘Florida’ and ‘Magnifica’.
Gardenias LOVE January.
Hooroo! Don.
