~ ~ ~ WE OFFER BOTH PKT. & BULK SIZES ~ ~ ~ .....Fragrant Cape Jasmine Shrub, Gardenia jasminoides, Seeds Showy Fragrant Flowers, Evergreen, Greenhouse/Container Plant, Bonsai Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen tropical shrub with glossy, dark green leaves 2 to 4 inches long and generally in whorls of three. The flowers are terminal or axillary, funnel shaped with 5 -12 spreading lobes to 3 inches across, white to ivory, strongly fragrant. In colder areas, Gardenias are grown as pot or larger container plants. They grow well in greenhouses and conservatories but can also thrive when placed outdoors during the summer months and returned to moderate indoor temperatures in the fall. They are prized for their large, very fragrant flowers and are quite often given as gifts to gardening enthusiasts. Culture: A good time to feed Gardenias is early spring, using an acid plant food, fish emulsion or blood meal. Fertilize the shrubs again in late June to encourage extra flowers or faster growth of young shrubs. Do not fertilize Gardenias in the fall. Doing so will stimulate tender growth. Prune shrubs after they have finished flowering to remove straggly branches and faded flowers. Water Gardenias regularly. Drip irrigating the shrubs will keep water off the foliage and blossoms and prevents leaf spots. Sowing Gardenia jasminoides Seeds: Scarification and moisture enhance germination. Scarify: Soak in water for 24 hours Stratify: 0 days Germination: Sow 1/8" Deep
