Since gardenias flourish in locations that provide a balance of sunlight and shade, an ideal spot in your garden would be one that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.

It is also important to choose a location that offers some natural shelter to your gardenias and protects it from frost. Consider planting near a wall, fence, or other barriers.
