Pillow Talk® Gardenia thrives in partial to full sun with consistently moist, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.0–6.5). Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Apply an acid-forming fertilizer in spring and again in midsummer for best blooming performance. Once established, it is heat tolerant and low maintenance. Plant in a sheltered spot for maximum fragrance enjoyment near patios, walkways, or windows. Order today and bring the timeless elegance of gardenias to your garden!
