    Gardenia galore

    I'm very fond of the Gardenia and have a hundred or so planted around the yard. several varities, Looks more like the traditional plant that blooms starting in 2nd week of May (in Texas) the larger the plant the more blooms. After blooming is complete take several cuttings of the woody stem in 3 - 4 inch sections place in a pot in some shade. You can put twenty or so cuttings in a single pot. Six to eight weeks you should have quite a few starters to pot up for next spring and add to your new hedge.
