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.

Life-Changing Daily Devotional – Encouraging, Practical, and Spiritually Grounding
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge has been such a blessing in my daily routine. Each day’s devotional is thoughtfully written, combining Scripture, real-life reflections, and powerful application prompts that challenge you to live out your faith with purpose and integrity. What sets this devotional apart is how practical and relatable it is. The messages are encouraging but also bold, calling you to go deeper in your walk with God — not just in thought, but in action. The “Uncommon Key” at the end of each entry really helps drive the point home and gives you something to apply immediately. Whether you’re starting your day, winding down in the evening, or simply need a daily dose of truth and encouragement, this book delivers. I’ve found it incredibly grounding and motivating, and I’ve already gifted it to friends and family. Highly recommend to anyone looking to grow spiritually over the course of a year in a meaningful and intentional way!

Great for Family Devo for Teens
Format: Paperback
I am a single mom of two teens and was looking for a creative way to "get a wise man speaking to my son." My 15-year old is an avid sports fan and normal rap-listening, sullen teenage boy. His teen sister and I have been reading this in the mornings all year before school at breakfast. It has been WONDERFUL and completely achieved my purpose. Although some of the devos are for sure written to men (marriage, etc.) I just skip those. They have been completely adaptable for a family devo and my son has enjoyed his occasional football team experiences. The devos frequently inspire a quick discussion about our own experiences. The football examples are not so overwhelming, he'll use one maybe every few days which is just right. I would say his main takeaway - what I have been trying to teach in the wake of moral problems of other relatives - is that Character Matters. Our Integrity does matter. The Bible verses and stories are relevant, sometimes we look them up. Thank you so much, Tony, for being a much needed Godly "grandfather" to my kids this year!
