Planting Guidelines
Planting Guidelines
Fall or spring is the most suitable time for planting the gardenia bush. Select a spot with full sun to light shade and where the soil is acidic. Dig a hole that is twice as wide than the root ball. Place fresh soil at the bottom of the hole and place gardenia in so the top of the root ball is even with the soil surface. Fill in soil and water deeply. You can apply a 2inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
Winter Care
Winter Care
Gardenias are cold sensitive and may die during severe winters. You can protect gardenias in winter by covering them with a blanket during brief cold periods. In areas with heavy snow you can use a cardboard box to cover the shrub to avoid bending of branches with snow.
Potting & Container
Potting & Container
Gardenias can be successfully grown in containers or treated as indoor plants. If growing a gardenia indoors insure, they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. High humidity is essential to indoor gardenia care. Keep in a 1 gallon for first 6 months then gradually increase to a 3 gallon.

My recipient was so moved by the gesture, the presentation and everything this company delivers. Brilliant idea to send something so beautiful that will live on at such a hard time of loss. They are planning a whole afternoon in memory of their dog to plant and reflect. What beautiful Closure!

This all turned out amazing. Our friend lost her dog and she absolutely loved getting this plant.

The white gardenia has meaning of hope, peace, renewal, and protection. We hope that in the loss of their beloved pet they will in fact have each of these granted to them and have peace in their heart.

I brought this Gardenia bush for my son who lost his little dog Ariel, who was a beautiful white Maltese. The white flowers, which were in bloom, will remind him of Ariel forever. The bush arrived in perfect condition with blooming Gardenias. Very satisfied!
Dear Angie-
Thank you for the kind words in the review. We appreciate your business.
We are honored to have been a part of this special gift for your son. We know that our pets are an extended piece of our family and each of them truly add value, love, joy and happiness to our lives. It never seems fair that our beloved pets cannot live forever or at least for all of our lives. Ariel left footprints on your heart. We hope this plant will serve as a great memorial for many years to come.
Gratefully,
Maleena

I was gifted a gardenia plant from a friend after the loss of my dog. I was so touched by the beautiful plant and engraved plaque. I love the idea of having a plant in my garden to remember my beloved dog, Bam Bam. Recently my mother's cat passed away. I decided to gift her a Seeds Of Life Gardenia with a engraved plaque as well. She was also very touched and grateful. Such beautifully packaged gift that will be a reminder of a great love for years to come. I only wish the plant was ready to bloom like the description states- both plants were not ready to bloom. I've had my plant about a month and it has not bloomed. Regardless, I highly recommend gifting Seeds of Life for any occasion.
Hello Erica-
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review.
I am so sorry for the loss of one of your truest best friends, your dog, and then your mom's cat. I have pets myself and know they are an extended piece of my family and heart. I send thoughts and prayers of peace to you and your mom as well. I am hopeful you will be filled some happiness as you see these beautiful plants grow.
Each of the Gardenia's in our crop are very healthy, but yet unique. They have been very well taken care of in our nursery, to ensure you receive the best quality. The plants may not have any current blooms, but I am very confident they will begin to flourish and bloom as they become a little more mature, we do recommend Miracle Grow potting soil and food for at least for the first year after planting, this too to will encourage blooms.

Was very pleased with the selection, ordering process, delivery and quality of the gardenia plant purchased as a memorial for my niece's beloved pet. She was thrilled with the personalized marker! It stands with the Gardenia she planted near her mailbox as her dog accompanied her daily to get the mail. Thank you!
