Will your gardenia freeze in the winter?

Gardenias are sensitive to cold temperatures and can be damaged or killed by frost. They thrive in USDA hardiness zones 8-10, so if you live in a colder zone, it's essential to provide protection during winter. You can cover them with frost cloths, move potted plants indoors, or plant them in a sheltered location to minimize freeze damage. Ensuring proper care in the fall can help them survive the winter months.
