Klehm's Hardy gardenia

Hello:

I have been growing this plant over the last 7 or 8 years. It is getting to a pretty respecable size, but I have always been a bit disappointed in the number of blooms that the plant puts out. I am guessing that the really cold snaps in January & February kill most of the buds in the more exposed branches, as the blooms that do appear are found mostly near the ground.

The plant grows in a sheltered courtyard on the south side of the house. It gets a mix of sun and shade throughout the year.

I am thinking next winter to wrap this plant with DuPont's Microfoam fabric. Has anyone else tried this? Would the winter sun cause too much warming to occur inside the Microfoam?

Alternative ideas for protecting this plant?

Thanks!

Dan
