I too have the buds browning at the edge before opening. It’s planted directly in the ground, is on a drip system and gets mostly mid-day to afternoon sun. I think I’ll try increasing watering time. I will also spray with the Epsom Salts water. It does wonders for me! I’m actually sort of happy to see a bloom at all. This is it’s 2nd year here. It’s my favorite flower and these are the first blooms I’ve seen! It has been unseasonably warm here, but it’s far from being summer. I can’t wait until my husband retires and we move North to the area around Prescott, Arizona. I can plant a much larger garden but will have to start a new Gardenia. 😉
