Are you growing gardenia in Kentucky, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?
Getting your Gardenia to bloom is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:

So if they bloom too early they may die or not last as long. And if they bloom too late they may have small blooms that don’t last long.

When Do Gardenia Bloom in Kentucky?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when Gardenia will bloom: where your Gardenia are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Gardenia Are Planted!!!
When your Gardenia will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a gardenia is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a gardenia is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a gardenia is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
