6-19-15 gardeniasGardenias are certainly not a stranger to most of you, being well-loved for their characteristic pungent white blooms, as well as glossy green foliage that stays beautiful all year long.

Gardenias are shade-loving plants, but they are also just as productive when planted indoor in containers. If you desire this, make sure that your gardenia receives plenty of indirect sunlight to help it stay healthy and prolific, perhaps placing it on a sunporch or in a greenhouse.

Plant gardenias in rich, moist soil that is slightly acidic.
