Thanks for the posts. I'm going to take my chances on a warm, sunny spot and
see what happens. That's the interesting thing about gardening -- you never
know exactly what might happen. I think Thomas Jefferson once noted that
there's nothing like gardening for the failures, and the successes that make
up for them (not an exact quote; his words would sound better).

Hi,

I think I've seen this plant (Trachelospermum jasminoides) a lot of
places
here, but I noticed several books listing it as only hardy to zone 8. Is
this the plant I'm seeing on mailboxes around here?

Thanks,

I put two plants in last fall and they both died to the ground during
winter. They've come back a bit since, but I've been told they're just
barely included in our zone.
