I have, over the years collected both Gardenias and Jasmine. It is a toss up between the two especially if you are propagating and selling as I am which gives me more pleasure.
I have noticed the gardenias seem to thrive in the East Windows, or the East side of the Greenhouse. As do the Jasmine. With the exception of Aimee, and Aimee loves sun and plenty of water. I have at least 24 new cuttings that are in the hot afternoon side of the greenhouse and they are sitting in flats with water in the bottom. It has taken me two years but I now have been able to propagate cuttings of the Frostproof too. I think it must have been an accident, but it happened.
I started me in water and some in soil.
The new African is blooming but the blooms only last a day. (I need someone to tell me if that is a true gardenia). The Gardenia Diamonds Fragrant Delight has the biggest shiny leaves, looks almost like the leaves of the Taitensis. The Frostproofs are resting just now. I know so little about these wonderful plants and I am just too old to remember what I do know, but what I can guarantee about both gardenias and Jasmine is that if given lots of TLC and music, they thrive. Oh yes, the music can vary. Country is their favorite, but they will do well with some of my old Big Band tunes and other oldies. LOL...Hugs to all. JB
