Hi Gail
Thank you for your gardening question. Lorraine County is in zone 6. Typically gardenias grow well in zone 8 and above. It appears that there are some newer varieties that can be grown in colder climates. Do you know if you have this type? Is there information regarding zone on the tag? I am including an article on how to grow indoors if these are a tropical variety and you want to over winter them indoors. https://www.purdue.edu/hla/sites/yardandgarden/gardenia-a-gardeners-challenge/
