Acid-loving plants include azalea, camelia, blueberry and gardenia.
Verbena bonariensis, also called purpletop vervain, is blooming in the pollinator garden at the Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens.Q: My gardenia leaves are light green with curled brown tips. We water three to four times per week with an irrigation system. The plants have been in the pot for about a year and were created from cuttings from my great grandmother’s gardenia in Winn Parish in Louisiana, which is well over 100 years old. They get about six to eight hours of sunlight daily.
If you did not use potting soil ideal for acid loving plants, then I recommend repotting with a blend of 25-30% sphagnum peat moss in the growing mix. Gardenias will react to overwatering before underwatering. Be sure the soil is dry about an inch below the surface before adding more. Mulch to retain moisture.
Deadheading the flowers mid-season is not required but can extend the bloom time and clean up the appearance. Deadheading at the end of the season would be good to prevent volunteers the next year as they can emerge pretty thickly under the parent. Aside from cleaning spent flowers, pruning the plant when young will create a smaller specimen with more branching.
