August Beauty Gardenia - 2.5 Quart

Size

August Beauty Gardenia offers layers of fragrant, double white blooms set against glossy, dark green foliage, creating a polished look in foundation beds, informal hedges, and outdoor living spaces. Its crisp white petals brighten the landscape from spring into fall, with bloom cycles that respond to your local weather and care. August Beauty’s upright to rounded shape adds year-round substance, even when not in bloom. Select this gardenia when you can provide space for its mature size, along with acidic soil, steady moisture, and reliable drainage. Planted near a patio or entry, its fragrant flowers can be enjoyed up close without encroaching on walkways. Gardenias are toxic to dogs, cats, and horses if eaten. Plant August Beauty where pets and grazing animals cannot reach the foliage or flowers. Landscape Uses for August Beauty Gardenia Plant a single August Beauty as a fragrant focal point, or repeat it along a foundation for evergreen structure and seasonal blooms. Give each shrub enough space for its mature branches to grow beside windows, walls, and paths without crowding. For an informal flowering hedge, plant August Beauty in a row where each shrub can develop its natural shape. Allowing enough room for mature width helps keep the hedge lush and reduces the need for frequent pruning. August Beauty also grows well in outdoor containers with drainage and space for roots to expand. Keep in mind that the nursery pot size is not the same as the plant’s mature height or spread in the landscape. Explore the Gardenias collection to find other gardenia varieties for your landscape.
