Gardenia jasminoides 'Kleim's Hardy'

Plant gardenias directly into well drained, rich fertile soil, in a sheltered position in dappled shade. Gardenia plants prefer an acid soil. If you don't have acid soil, simply plant them in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant at its original soil level and firm well into the new container and water well.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed regularly with fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect gardenia plants from hard frosts during particularly cold periods. Container-grown plants may be moved to a cool frost-free position for the winter if necessary. Gardenias require little pruning other than lightly trimming the stems to maintain their shape in spring.
