First Love Gardenia (Grafted) - Monrovia

Checking local availability

Wonderfully fragrant, large, white, double blooms are larger than any other gardenia and the first to bloom. A superb evergreen landscape accent or container plant for courtyards or patio. This superior grafted selection thrives due to rootstock that is nematode resistant, tolerates poor soils, and more readily takes up soil nutrients.

Essentials for Success

For flourishing plants, use potting soil for potted plants or planting mix for garden beds paired with Root Zone starter fertilizer is the perfect duo to foster robust root growth and minimize transplant shock.

Care

Planting & Growing

Thrives in organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Handle with care when transplanting; gardenia roots are best undisturbed. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch.

Not sure it was a semi-dwart

I'm not sure that it was a semi-dwart Katy apricot, which I was going to bye, so I didn't pick it up.

Robust

These haven’t been the ground that long, but they are extremely healthy and growing very well. Looking forward to my first taste of this legendary tomato.

beautiful flowering tree

This plant is nice as it is doesn't get full.
It has a great bloom for weeks and then
green foliage for the remainder of the year.
Ive purchased 5 from Armstrong.

Other review is not helpful

If you have a complaint about the store then call them and tell them. This soil is great. Bad experience doesn’t knock the value and benefit of this soil.
