I am not having good luck with gardenias. I see them growing in my area, thriving without much attention at all. I bought one this spring and all the leaves turned yellow, fell off, and it died.
I bought another this fall, planted it in a different location about 2 weeks ago. The leaves are turning yellow and starting to fall off.
For both plantings, I dug very large (2 feet across) holes, and amended with peat, humus, rotted manure. My soil is a sandy loam. The first location was morning to midday sun (east side of house) and the second location is on the north side, with filtered partial sun all day long. None of my other plantings have reacted this way. Just the gardenias. Are they just finicky?
