Gardeners....rally round

I think my hardy gardenias are dead....if the leaves are brown is it hopeless? there are still 3 green ones each plant

The leaves just might have winterburn. See if green starts appearing on the stems that flowered. There may be hope.

I have the same problem with my hardy gardenias. We'll have to see if new leaves appear. Sigh

I doubt hardy gardenias will come back after all these temp. below 5F. They are hardy to zone 6.

I walked my planting beds today. I'm hoping its winter burn, otherwise I lost 3 laurels that I just put in front of my house last spring. Happily the clearance sale azaleas I got at Home Depot all seem to be doing ok.

Very tough winter.

I think mine were rated zone 7. Maybe the roots survived?

My gardenias are a little brown, but still look alive. I wrapped them during the worst of the vortex and they're next to the house, though. I didn't wrap my camellia's and they're seriously burned. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Zone 6b is hardy to 0 to -5F. Zone 6a is hardy to -5 to -10F.
