Goody 2 Shoes
I now live in Naples, FL; but am originally from the Michigan. I am a paralegal-legal assistant, and I have also sold real estate part time for fun money! I have owned two poodles, a beige miniature, a black standard and recently adopted a black toy poodle from a rescue group. As a hobby-gone-wild, I previously raised and sold parakeets, lovebirds, sun conures and finches; and was president, vp, secretary and show chair of a large bird club for many years. I currently keep about 50 parrots, parakeets to cockatoos, and 4 finches.
Planting Gardenia shrub in SWFL?
I'm getting conflicting information on the internet and from nursery employees on whether it is imperative to plant ONLY grafted gardenia plants in SW Florida. I am told by some that only the grafted plants will survive because of some sort of bug that is in the ground and prone to attacking plants that are not grafted. I prefer to plant one of the non-grafted varieties because I don't want it to look like a small tree as the grafted ones do. They will be planted on either side of the garage (near cement) and the east side of the house. Even though I realize they grow quite large I intend to keep them fairly well trimmed so they don't obstruct the walkways. Do you think the "Mystery" variety non-grafted will work and will it not bloom nicely if I need to keep it too closely trimmed?
