Gardenia jasminoides 'August Beauty' (G. augusta) is a rounded, evergreen shrub and a prolific spring bloomer with large, sweetly fragrant, velvety white flowers backed by lustrous green foliage. Useful as a low hedge, screen, or accent.
How big does the August Beauty Gardenia grow?
It typically grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded shrub with glossy dark-green leaves and large white flowers that perfume the whole yard.
When does it bloom and what do the flowers look like?
It blooms from late spring through summer; sometimes into fall in mild climates. The double white flowers are 3 to 4 inches wide and intensely fragrant.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. It thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil that’s rich in organic matter. Alkaline soil makes it sulk and turn yellow.
How should I water and fertilize it?
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Feed in spring and midsummer with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants, and mulch to conserve moisture and regulate temperature.
