Gardenia candida hedge spacing

The optimum plant spacing for a Gardenia candida hedge is 40 cm between the plants. Spacing the plants out further will result in a wider hedge that takes longer to fill in. Be sure to use a stringline to get the line straight and start lightly trimming the sides once the plants show active growth. It makes a lovely hedge 1-1.2 m tall. The best Gardenia candida hedges are achieved with trimming in spring and again in autumn.
