"Frost Proof" Gardenia, Overwinter Outdoors (4K) - January 2024

Описание: 43 blooms opened in July & a few more in August. In October, counted to over 10 buds but wonder if they will stay till next Spring to bloom.
This have had issues for the last 2 years going from indoor overwintering to outdoors in Spring. I almost gave up last year.
Plan to leave it outdoors unless it is below freezing. In or area, that is only a few days a few times in winter.
It is hardy to zone 7 and I am in zone 8 (up from zone 7 a while back). It should do fine in landscape but, in a container, need to be hardy to 2 zones lower (meaning zone 6).
If you know a thing or 2 about the care of this plant, please share & thanks!
