I once vowed to never try a gardenia again. Today at Lowe's I fell for a beauty-three feet across and loaded with flowers and buds.
In the past I have pampered them with acid potting soil, acid food, crossed fingers, toes and eyes and they still always turned light green, lost their buds to some kind of black burrowing bug, and even wilted. WHAT IS THE SECRET????
