Gardenias

Question

I planted gardenias last year. And this year they appear dead with no foliage at all. Will they come back?

Answer 1

You didn't say where you planted them. It's difficult to know what killed them, if they, in fact, dead. If you live in a temperate zone, cold and frost could have killed them, but that's only a guess. You may want to take some samples of your dead plants to your local cooperative extension for some assistance in identifying the problem.
