Most gardenias are hardy in Zones 8-10. Your state is within the 6-7 growing zones; therefore, the shrub is usually treated as a houseplant, though it can be grown in a container and spend the summer outdoors. With suitable protection, however, it is possible for the shrub to survive mild winters in Zone 7, otherwise it should be brought indoors.
