Dodging Rain to Plant the SWEETEST Smelling Hedge!

Today in the garden we’re installing a fragrant hedge using 8 Buttons Gardenias — one of my favorite evergreen shrubs for the Gulf Coast! 🌿🤍 These compact gardenias may stay smaller than traditional varieties, but they still deliver that classic rich gardenia fragrance everyone loves. In this video I talk about: ✨ What makes Buttons Gardenias unique ✨ Their mature size and growth habit ✨ How to keep them healthy and blooming ✨ My favorite care tips for our hot, humid southern climate ✨ A secret pro tip for fuller growth and more blooms 👀 I’m also planting a beautiful Colorita Katiana Alstroemeria for an extra pop of color in the garden while trying to dodge incoming rain showers the entire time! 🌧️😂 If you love cottage gardens, fragrant plants, roses, gardenias, and Gulf Coast gardening inspiration — you’re in the right place. 🌱 Gardening in Mobile, Alabama (Zone 9a) 🎥 Follow along with The Gulf Coast Gardener for more garden projects, plant hauls, landscaping ideas, and seasonal updates. #Gardenia #ButtonsGardenia #FragrantHedge #SouthernGarden #CottageGarden #GardenTour #LandscapeDesign #Zone9Garden #GardenInspiration #Alstroemeria #TheGulfCoastGardener
