Chuck Hayes Gardenia

skippy05
15 years ago

My Chuck Hayes is 4 years old & is doing beautifully!

It is really growing & we only have a small back yard.

The plant had several blooms in June/July.

I just had 3 more blooms the past few weeks.

And I see more buds coming out.

My question is about pruning it.

When is the correct time to cut it back? Can these cuttings be rooted & new plants started?

I would like to trim it back a little if possible.

Anyone with experience doing this?

Thanks
