Garden Goods Direct | August Beauty Gardenia

August Beauty Gardenia (gardenia jasminoides ‘August Beauty’) not only live beautifully in a garden, but make for perfect corsages, wedding bouquets, and elegant centerpieces. Their small evergreen shrub structure blooms thick dark green leaves and velvety white flowers. When planted in the proper grow zones, these gardenias grow 4 to 6 feet tall and upwards of 3 to 4 feet wide, lasting decades long. Thriving best in full sun and acidic soil, you won’t have too much trouble watching your gardenia jasminoides bloom beautiful white flowers. The most popular place August Beauty is planted is near entryways, patios, and in the foreground of garden borders. Conducting a soil test is imperative before placing them in your garden. They require acidic, well-drained soils and can even handle partially shaded landscaping. We recommend you plant them near heavy foot traffic areas, that way your guests can enjoy their fragrance every time they step foot in your beautiful garden.
