Description
The largest growing and most impressive Gardenia we offer, ‘August Beauty’ is a double-flowered variety that produces an abundance of large (3″ diameter), pure white flowers from mid-spring into summer that fill the garden with wonderful aroma to die for. The flowers are excellent for cutting and use in indoor arrangements. The very lustrous and dark green arrow-shape leaves of August Beauty contrast nicely with other plants with a finer texture and lighter color foliage.
Landscape & Garden Uses
 
Growing to 6 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the August Beauty Gardenia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a wonderfully fragrant hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Because they like a break from the midday afternoon sun and cold northwesterly winds, Gardenia are best planted on the east side of the home or other structures. Needless to say, these fragrant wonders are a fine addition to sensory gardens and near windows or outdoor living spaces where the fragrance can be enjoyed.
Suggested Spacing:  4 feet apart for solid hedge;  8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Cultural Preferences
Gardenia are exceptionally easy to grow in moist but well-drained soils of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun with some shade or filtered sun in the mid afternoon hours. The east side of the home or other areas that provide some afternoon shade are perfect. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other plant diseases. 
Soil pH is important!
To flower their best and maintain deep green foliage color, all Gardenia require an acid to moderately acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 on the pH scale. If your soil is alkaline foliage will turn pale-green to yellow and flowering will be diminished.
Soil pH is a measurement of the alkalinity or acidity of soil and is measured on a scale of 1-14, with 7 as the neutral mark. Any measurement below 7 indicates acid soil conditions, and anything above 7 indicates alkaline. If you’re unsure about the pH of your soil and whether or not it’s suitable for growing Gardenia it’s a good idea to test the soil pH in the planting area. 
You can quickly test soil pH with an inexpensive soil pH tester probe. To raise the pH (make more alkaline) you can add pelletized limestone to the soil. To lower the pH (make more acid) you can apply Soil Sulfur, Aluminum Sulfate, or Chelated Iron. Adding organic compost to the soil or using compost as mulch can also help to increase acidity and maintain acid soil conditions.

The plant was received in good condition. I only wish that you would have waited until late May and then shipped it out to me in Wisconsin. We have freezing weather until May 31st so I have the plants inside my bathroom so they stay warm and are able to get good sun light from my skylight.—————————————————————–So sorry we can’t do delayed shipping, we tried for awhile and it was very complicated. But we are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Much larger than ever imagined it to be. The huge box was a shocker of a surprise and when i opened the box even more shocked as to how beautiful the entire plant was. Looking forward to the fragrance of the gardenia as we go out onto our patio next year.———————————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I could not be any happier with my Gorgeous Gardenias———————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Did not think Wilson Bros could do it again, but they did and they outdid themselves. Another perfectly packaged and shipped plant. And when the plant was unpacked it was truly beautiful. If we had a nursery here, I could not have picked a better plant than the one they sent. Incredible, healthy, vibrant plant, THANK YOU!————————————Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks so much for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Received a beautiful plant in a few days. I like the fact that Wilson Bros sends updates so I could know when to expect the plants. Very pleased with the company and service. Will order again.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I bought this as a gift for someone In Florida with cancer. She loved it saying it was really fresh and fragrant!——————————–I’m sorry your loved one has cancer, but so glad she’s enjoying it! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
This was my first order with Wilson Bros. I was beyond shocked when I saw how healthy my two beauties were when I received them. I sent the picture below to my sister to encourage her to shop here. I research quality online nurseries prior to purchasing. These guys had two thumbs up, including from me!
I was thrilled when I received the four August beauty Gardenia plants in 3 gallon pots. They were so carefully packed for shipment that not a single leaf fell off. These shrubs are so thick and healthy. I’ve grown Gardenias before but never had them this thick and lush. I can’t wait for them to bloom. Now if I can just find a nice Gardenia Tree! —————————- Hi Patricia! Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the August Beauty Gardenia and for your very kind words and wonderful review. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! We’re adding tree form Gardenia to our “to-grow ” list so might be carrying it in the somewhat near future.
