I finally dragged mine to a shadier location last weekend. The edges of the leaves were crisping and browning, and you know what that means--the Beginning of The End. So I am prolonging its life a bit but I'm not hopeful. You read articles locally here that gardenias are actually sun-loving plants. I gave it a shot, or two, or ten...different locations. I have the pot on wheels, the only one in my garden, so I can cart it around.
I DID ignore this one, all winter long. It was reasonably healthy looking whenever it caught my eye. But I couldn't stand it anymore. Next time I write here, it will be to announce it's passing.
