| Botanical Name | Gardenia jasminoides 'Snow Girl' |
| Description | 'Snow Girl' is a fantastic dwarf gardenia variety for the Houston metro area, prized for its heavy spring bloom and sporadic flowering throughout the summer. While it loves our signature high humidity, gardenias are famously picky about soil. They require acidic, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. In our local heavy clay, it is essential to plant them in raised beds or amend the soil significantly with compost and peat moss; they will quickly decline in alkaline or water-logged conditions. |
| Exposure | Part Sun to Light Shade (Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal for Houston) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Regular; keep soil consistently moist but not saturated. Mulching is highly recommended to keep roots cool. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Use an acid-loving plant fertilizer (like Azalea/Camellia food) in early spring and again after the first bloom flush. |
| Pruning | Prune after the main spring bloom cycle to maintain shape and remove any dead wood. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
