Help!!! My gardenia was severely frostbitten during North Carolinas latest snow fall (24"). My gardenia is about 3 ft tall. The top 2 feet of foliage has turned completely brown and withered. Should I cut it back? Should I leave it alone? Should I take off only the dead foliage? Will it bloom? It is currently sitting at the end of my driveway without any protection. Should I move it closer to the house? Anything will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy
