The August Beauty Gardenia, a cherished flowering shrub, is renowned for its stunning blossoms and captivating fragrance. Hailing from China, this evergreen beauty from the Rubiaceae family is a cultivar of the Gardenia jasminoides species.

Glossy, dark green leaves and showy white flowers define the August Beauty Gardenia. The alluring aroma of the blooms, which usually appear from late spring to early summer, brings a touch of elegance to any garden setting.

The August Beauty Gardenia thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH between 5.0 and 6.5). Enhance its growth by enriching the soil with organic matter such as compost or peat moss, which boosts drainage and fertility. The plant prefers full to partial sunlight, as excess shade can hinder flower production.

Consistent watering is essential for the health of your August Beauty Gardenia. The soil should stay moist but not soggy. Overwatering can result in root rot and other fungal diseases, hence the importance of maintaining a balance.

After planting, water the plant thoroughly and apply a layer of organic mulch to maintain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Watering tips include deep and infrequent watering, aiming the water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage and adjusting watering based on rainfall. Signs of overwatering include yellowing leaves, wilting, and root rot.

Water 2-3 times per week during the first growing season. In the second growing season, water once or twice a week. Shortly after planting, check the soil an hour after watering to ensure that the soil is draining well.

Where Do Gardenias Grow Best?

Your new Flowerwood Gardenia bushes will remain hardy in USDA Zones 8 - 11.

Place your Gardenia bushes in slightly acidic soil with good drainage. Soil that is too alkaline results in yellowing leaves.

Do Gardenias Like Full Sun or Shade?

Plant this gardenia in Full Sun to Part Shade. If you are located in hotter zones, such as the southern United States, plant them somewhere where they will receive morning sun and afternoon shade.

If you are located in cooler zones, such as the northern United States, plant them in full sun to help ensure their winter survival.

How To Care For Gardenias?

Pruning helps shape the plant, remove dead or diseased branches, and stimulate new growth. Prune in early spring, after flowering has finished, making clean cuts above a leaf node or bud. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and avoid heavy pruning to maintain flower production. Always sanitize pruning tools before and after use to prevent disease spread.

Proper fertilization and pruning are crucial to the health and beauty of your August Beauty Gardenia. A high-nitrogen, acid-formulated fertilizer is ideal. Organic options like compost or well-rotted manure can also be beneficial.

If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
