Gardenia
I have tried to grow gardenia bushes twice. They do well for about 2 seasons and then they begin to go down hill with leaves yellowing and falling off and fewer and fewer blooms. I've planted one in mostly sun and one in part shade. I live in Zone 7 and have watered when the weather is dry.
