Hello. What zones does this grow in? Also, is it a perrennial or does it die off when winter hits? What sun requirements does it have?

I live in zone 7 and they are annuals. No change in the winter, still green. Full sun or shade is fine. Mine is in full sun. Follow the planting direction and you will be fine.

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

Sorry, but I do not know. I am near Albany, NY, where we have cold winters. I bought my plant in late Summer and it grew tremendously. However, we brought it in the house for the first winter to give it a chance to develop a little more before we try leaving it out all year. Once we plant it outside, we plan to plant it near the house on the south facing side to give it the best chance of survival.

Hi Carrie :) I live in the Lancaster are of PA...we are about what I would call zone 5.5 :) They grew perfectly well...and they even sprouted in the dead of winter in my greenhouse ( which is kind of chilly in December). Go for it :)

I moved my Gardenia indoors for the winter. I put it by a window that gets partial sun in the morning and early afternoon. It seems to be happy and developed a bud several weeks ago. I just can't hardly wait for it to open!

I'm in zone 6, and my plant is thriving. It's survived three winters of unusual cold and winter precipitation, but I'm not sure about zone 5.

when winter comes you are to cut it down to six ins. then put mulch around it. I have not planted it yet. I have been sick. So there for I still have it in the house. Its doing ok, but if you still have warme weather plant it.

Kale is definitely annual in my part of the country - zone 4b. I should think the growing season is longer in other zones but should also be annual. I am not a professional gardener or botanist. I am a nurse. I'm sure it seeds well and it doesn't mind the the cold much. It gets sweeter when it experiences a frost or two.

It is hardy to about 20 degrees with a light mulch, but it is important to have well draining soil. Horticultural zone 9 or 8 in a mild winter with extra mulch. I wintered it over in Dallas several years. With a growing season of less than 240 days it would probably not produce substantial rhizomes. It does have beautiful leaves though and could be overwintered like cannas north of zone 8.

I don't see any reason why it would not respond well in zone 7. I live in Phoenix, and the only area the dichondra is not growing as well is in direct sunlight all day. Therefore, I think it would grow well in a more temperate climate.

I live in NY and it is FLOUISHING!!!!!! I can't see how it would not thrive in NV!!! It grows fast so don't be disappointed if what you get "Seems" small, it wont be for long!!!!! I have had mine 6-7 months and its 4-5 feet tall already AND has to winter indoors with grow lights.... Go for it, you'll love it!!!PS Martha, should you need her (doubtful) is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!! Five stars!!!!!

Gardenia's like indirect heat and humidity. If it snows you may need to move it close to your house or cover them during the winter. I usually talk to my local nurser before I start growing a new plant. You can find info online that will say it's not possible but locals will have creative ways to meet the plants growing needs.

This plant is so resilient that it can grow anywhere. Once it takes hold it can go dry for a while - doesn't have to be wet all the time. It does better in sun. Beware - it spreads very, very fast. I have mine in a container.

yes, it will survive in zone 5. Even if it dies back in winter, in spring it will come up again and reward you.

Mine barely survived the last two winters indoor. I had it in a window which got direct morning sun. It comes to life in the spring/summer when I take it back outside but doesn't seem to have enough time to grow and fruit before Fall returns.

What zones can these survive outside in the winter? I am in zone 4 in Iowa.

Likes water - I grew it in zone 9 in Florida in partial sun. Contact manufacture for information on your area before buying and seeding.
