Gardenia Vietnam is one of the newest gardenias to show up
in the market. It will grow to about 5-6 feet. It is an
amazing bloomer, flowering intermittently during most
of the year. The flowers are
single, large and fragrant. Gardenia Vietnam will grow
in full to partial sun. Likes average water.
The soil has to be porous (good drainage), and slightly
acidic. The addition of compost to the
soil is beneficial. The use of a fertilizer for acid loving
plants is also recommended. In many
situations a regular “palm fertilizer” is enough.
Freezing temperatures should be avoided. Their
resistance to nematodes is still unknown therefore soils
with poor organic content should
be avoided, unless the plant is grown potted and above
the ground.
