Gardenia 'Golden Magic' hedge spacing

The optimum plant spacing for a Gardenia 'Golden Magic' hedge is 40 cm between the plants. Spacing the plants out further will result in a broader hedge that takes longer to fill in. Be sure to use a string line to ensure the line is straight, and start lightly trimming the sides once the plants show active growth. It makes a lovely hedge between 1-1.2 m tall. The best Gardenia 'Golden Magic' hedges are achieved with trimming in spring and again in autumn.

What height does Gardenia 'Golden Magic' grow to?

Gardenia 'Golden Magic' grows to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide as a general rule. It tends to grow taller in partial shade conditions compared to when grown in full sun. Similarly, the size also depends on the level of trimming and how well the plant is cared for with regard to fertiliser and watering during dry periods.

How to grow Gardenia 'Golden Magic' in NZ

Grow Gardenia 'Golden Magic' in full sun or partial shade, using fertile soil that drains freely. Plant at the same depth as the nursery container, firm the soil gently, and water thoroughly. Add mulch around the roots while keeping it away from the stems. Water consistently during the first growing season and choose a position with room for the mature plant. Check moisture regularly while the new roots establish in their surroundings.
