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.

Very roomy
Color: Coffee, Style: Modern
It's great. I feel secure with the RFID, the leather is soft and looks great. It has many pockets for cards so that I can spread out my cards. This makes it slim in my pocket. This is a very nice wallet; I recommend this as a great gift or a replacement for yourself.

Booted & Suited
Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small
This is my 3rd son & my last to do the "prom" thing. Usually we go on a popular store chain website where you usually have to buy everything ala individually. Here I could get everything I need, 3 piece suit, button up shirt,black velvet loafers, and a wrist corsage for her & a Boutonniere for him all here on Amazon with money to spare. The suit needed a little steaming and we did have his pants hemmed we listened to the other ppl on here & realized this obviously runs very large so we reluctantly ordered a small when he usually wears a Men's medium. We were very happy because the fit looks tailor made to me so size down. If you're on the way more slender side get a XS. This runs very large my son is 5"11 and works out consistently & is approximately 155-160 lbs. The material was wonderful Nice not some weird material what you would expect for a suit/tux .I love the satin lined lapel that added some extra flair...we opted to wear a thick chain instead of the bow tie that it did come with a lot of ppl said they didn't get one, well we did. Everything in the pic on my son came from Amazon (except his Girlfriend's dress) even his unique Boutonniere & her corsage that are made from faux flowers to keep forever. I love this suit, this price, and most of all the quality you might as well just buy it because renting it is about the same price & this one you get to keep!

Decent Slim Fit Tux
Color: Midnight Black, Size: Large
This will work. In ordering the tux I don't recall seeing the set advertised as slim fit but it definitely is. My husband is 6'2" and 185 lbs. and is a runner. This suit just fits. The pants are thankfully long enough (he wears a 34/34) and the vest fits well however there doesn't seem to be an inch to spare in the jacket. He says it feels fine on, doesn't feel too snug, so that's all that matters. He needed a tux for a black tie wedding we'll be attending next month and this will fit the bill at a good price for something he'll likely never wear again. Note: the Suit comes folded up in a plastic bag and will need to be pressed before wearing.
