I have two gardenia bushes in my front yard (right by my front door, very visible!) that have lost almost every leaf. They are just brown sticks with the occasional yellowing leaf and the occasional bud. The buds have never bloomed fully. They get afternoon sun, and have had plenty of water. What can I do?
