I just planted two new Kleim's Gardenia bushes in my front yard - eastern
exposure. They are definitely hardy in this area and come highly
recommended for their vigor.

If you see yellow leaves right now, it is perfectly normal. Hollies and
gardenias are losing some leaves and putting out their new growth right now.
They do this every spring. If you look closely at the tips of the bush, you
will see lighter green leaves starting to grow. You can also fertilize them
with some Holly Tone fertilizer each spring. I just throw a cup of it
around the base of the bush each season.

Hope this helps.

Can anybody tell me if Kleim's Gardenia will survive in the ground? I
have about 5 bushes facing east. It gets full sun for about 6 to 8
hrs. Some of them are yellowing. Any help is appreciated.
