Questions & Answers
How long does this bloom in southern florida
The Jubilation gardenia blooms twice a year on Lower Alabama.
Will these survive in containers in southern Idaho if they are brought in over winter?
Outdoor plants do not do well inside during the winter. Please check your planting zones and abide by those parameters.
My friend in North East Oregon brings hers into her garage and has a grow light attached to underside of a wall shelf for light. The garage should not get cold enough to kill them. The grow light gives them enough light and artificial heat.
Is it ok to plant 2 two gallon plants in the same pot? If so, what size.
I don't know about planting 2 in the same pot. I planted mine in the ground. My plants are going on 3 yrs old. I cover them in the winter with clear plastic - bury the top part of the bag under dirt so it will have the earth warmth. Next is an old trick taught by a very old gardner in East Texas. She taught me to use a sprayer, hooked up to a water hose, with liquid soup in it and wash all my plants down (bottom of leaves as well as top) early in the spring. East Texas grows a lot of Roses, Azaelas, etc that attract various bugs. The soup washes off all the insects that have wintered over on the plants. It also goes down into the ground and kills the grub worms and other bad bugs. I don't know, but that might be your disease problem.
I would not recommend it, no.
I bought 2 in mid Apr. My zone is 8b. The leaves and buds are turning yellow. What could be the reason? And what shall I do to save the plants and buds?
Mine did the same and some of the leaves, blooms, and stems are turning brown. Returning to the store.
My shrub arrived late April. I am in zone 8b. When it arrived, I set it in a shady area of my garden and watered it well. I waited three days before planting it in its new home. The area I selected gets morning sun for about 5 hours and then for the balance of the day, it is in full shade. Gardenias like to be moist. I never allow it to be dry. I also feed it with an acidic base organic fertilizer. If your leaves are yellowing and the buds are falling off, I believe that it is not getting enough water or perhaps you have it in an area that gets to much afternoon sun.
I am in zone 7 and one of mine did the same thing. I thought I was over-watering, but then we had a torrential rain and it looked better.
I'm planning on growing these in pots to grow outdoors, what size pot is recommended for the 2 gallon size?
?
I would recommend at least a 5 gallon container to begin with for a 2 gallon plant.
will Jubilation Gardenia live in zone 6b?
No, the Jubilation Gardenia is conditioned to live in planting zones 7-11.
According to the Southern Living Plant website they will survive in zone 7.
What is the size of the flower?
Our gardenia flowers are in the 3 inch in diameter grouping.
It had no flowers.
What type of soil works best?
I moved mine to a pot to grow a little bigger prior to planting it in the ground. I used miracle grow moisture control potting soil and my gardenia bush is doing excellent!
Mix your native soil with some rich gardening soil, composted manure, or soil conditioner. This will make it easier for your plant to get adjusted to its new home. Add a good layer of mulch to the top.
