Spend a few minutes deadheading each week when the gardenias are actively in bloom. After the main flush of flowering is over, remove any remaining spent blooms and prune back the tips. Tip pruning encourages branching so the gardenia can produce more flower buds the following season.
I love Gardenias, but refuse to spray chemicals or cover my plants. Old gardenia plants are insect prone and finicky. Your soil can't be too moist or too dry. Then the occasional late frost comes and wipes out your blooms for the whole season.his Gardenia is great. It is the first of many that I have had that does not drop its flower buds. I have it in the greenhouse in the Fall/Winter, and keep it on the deck in the late Spring and Summer. The flowers really have a great scent and remind us of more tropical climates that we have enjoyed.
