Keepsake azalea & gardenia
Posted by Becky from on 2001-03-23 22:28:59

I received 2 potted plants in a basket
I need some info on them. I live in
the foothills on NC. Is the keepsake
azalea cold hardy to plant outside? Can
the gardenia be planted outside?

    Becky,

    If you want to keep these plants, let
    me ask you this question. Does it get
    cold and freezing temperatures outside
    where you live?? If it does. Don't
    plant them outside. They are both
    tropicals and will not survive a frost
    or freeze.
