Gardenia augusta Four Seasons

Gardenia augusta 'Four Seasons' is a popular variety of gardenia known for its ability to flower repeatedly throughout the year. This evergreen shrub features glossy, dark green leaves and highly fragrant, double white flowers. It is particularly noted for its compact growth habit and generous bloom cycles, making it an ideal choice for gardens and as a container plant.

To successfully grow Gardenia augusta 'Four Seasons', plant it in well-draining, acidic soil in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Gardenias thrive in warm, humid environments, so maintaining adequate moisture and humidity is crucial. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, will help keep the plant healthy, but be careful to avoid waterlogging the roots.

Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool. Fertilize with an acid-forming fertilizer or a product specifically designed for gardenias in the spring and summer to encourage blooming. Pruning after the main flowering period can help maintain shape and encourage the development of new flowers.

'Four Seasons' is perfect for those who want the beauty and fragrance of gardenias throughout much of the year. Its compact size and continuous blooming make it a versatile addition to any garden setting.
