I think gardenias are like... uh... dirt. Throw enough at a wall and you'll get some to stick. Also, I think they're very microclimate dependent.

I think I'm up to around ten or so as well. The one in the front yard looks straggly but it's alive and green. The one in the backyard, in a pot, is wilting and perking and wilting and perking... going to have to figure out a safe spot for it.

I'll post again with results on that...
Maybe your neighbors have a water leak under there. Just sayin''.

I think I maybe give up on them a little too soon, too. I had written off the one out front, and it came back.
