Now that my gardening confidence is up, what about Gardenias? I love their romantic fragrance and would like to try my hand at growing them. Easy to grow? Are they shade or sun lovers? What do you feed them?

Thank you!

gardenias are pretty easy to grow, as long as they have a partly shady area and acid soil. you can buy special soil for gardenias, as well as special food for them.
