Description

Gardenia jasminoides 'Veitchii' is a beautiful gardenia valued for its profusion of “everblooming” fragrant white double flowers. Veitchii is a compact evergreen shrub with glossy green dense foliage on upright branches. Grow these plants in full sun or part shade in warmer inland areas. Trim lightly after bloom to maintain a tidy appearance. Excellent in borders, hedges, as an accent plant, or in containers where the fragrance can be enjoyed.

Plant care

Gardenia Veitchii is a popular variety of gardenia known for its smaller, compact size and beautiful, fragrant white blooms. Here's how to plant and care for this lovely plant:

Planting Gardenia Veitchii

Choose the Right Location:

  • Sunlight: Prefers partial sun to partial shade. Ideally, it should get morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining, acidic soil (pH 5.0-6.5). Gardenias thrive in soil rich in organic matter, so loamy or sandy soil is best.
  • Protection: Plant in a spot that is sheltered from strong winds and harsh midday sun to prevent leaf damage.

Prepare the Soil:

  • Dig a Hole: Make a hole that is twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.
  • Amend the soil with organic compost, peat moss, or pine bark to improve acidity and drainage if necessary.

Planting Steps:

  1. Remove the Plant from Its Container: Handle the root ball carefully, and gently loosen the roots if they are tightly bound.
  2. Position the Plant: Place the gardenia in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  3. Backfill and Water: Fill the hole with soil, pressing down gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil around the roots.

Watering:

  • Consistent Moisture: Gardenias need evenly moist soil, so water regularly, especially during dry periods. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely but do not overwater, as gardenias are sensitive to soggy soil.
  • Water Quality: Use rainwater or distilled water if your tap water is alkaline, as gardenias are sensitive to pH changes.
