 One thing to remember is that gardenias like acid soil.  I don't know about
 the Sweet Shrub.  We take coffee grounds, used tea bags, old tea, etc and
put
 them on the gardenias and this seems to take care of the problem  of
 yellowing.  Our gardenia is not in full sun all day though.  Ours only gets
 morning sun and it has been blooming like crazy for a couple of weeks.  The
 scent is almost overpowering when you walk out the front door.
 
 I can sympathize with the clay soil--I'm in Baton Rouge and 3/4  our gardens
 had to be converted to raised bed.  Between the clay soil and the high water
 table everything was drowning. >>

Gina  and Perenns,
           Thanks  for the info. I' try raising the pH to  something more
acid.
