Gardenia jasminoides 'Celestial Star' (PBR)
hardy gardenia
- Position: partial shade
- Soil: prefers moist, well-drained neutral to acidic soil or ericaceous compost if grown in a pot
- Flowering period: July to September
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection)
- Garden care: Keep it potted up if your garden receives hard frosts so it can easily be moved between a sunny patio during the summer and an unheated conservatory or greenhouse in winter. Feed with a balanced liquid feed once a month and water freely with soft water during the growing season, but keep the compost reasonably dry throughout winter. Top-dress or pot on using ericaceous compost and lightly trim over-long shoots in mid to late spring.
