Growth Rate & Mature Size

Growth Rate: Gardenia August Beauty grows at a moderate rate, adding 6–12 inches per year. This steady growth ensures that it will fill out nicely and provide an abundant display of fragrant flowers in a relatively short time.

Mature Size: Reaches a mature height of 3–4 feet with a spread of 3–4 feet. Its compact, bushy form makes it ideal for use as a foundation plant, hedge, or focal point in gardens and landscapes. Its dense, evergreen foliage adds texture and structure to any outdoor space.

Watering & Sunlight

Watering: Gardenia August Beauty thrives in consistently moist, well-drained soil. It prefers regular watering but doesn’t like to sit in waterlogged soil. Deep watering is best, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure that it receives adequate moisture, particularly during blooming season, for the healthiest plant.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. For the best blooms and most vibrant foliage, Gardenia August Beauty needs at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In hotter climates, it will benefit from some afternoon shade to protect the flowers and leaves from scorching.
