  Reeves, The Georgia Gardner, is right. The old fashioned Gardenias grow much larger than do the newer varieties. I have a couple at my front porch here in Georgia that are at least 5' tall...and that is after I pruned it last year! They root very well in a clear container and are easy to transpant.

  reference you can spray them with several different things. First is Liquid Fence, you can buy this in any lawn and garden place, but is is a bit on the pricey side. You can also make a concoction of Irish spring liquid soap and water spray the plants and reapply after watering or when it rains. And another is egg whites and, pepper, garlic and water. All work well. Just don't forget to keep reapplying.
