When to plant gardenia bush in ground?

OK, here I am, back from Logee's and looking at my baby gardenia bush "Frostproof". I'm certainly keeping it indoors, in south window, but I need to know your advice on when to plant it outside. Is there a soil temperature I should aim at? Or just April 15, or May 15, or when?

And what other advice do you have? How often to water the little 4" pot while indoors? Temperamental (the plant, and maybe me too) - Whether it should be in full sun now, or filtered shade? I found this info about bud drop online:

"Common causes include low humidity, over-watering, under-watering, insufficient light, high temperatures, rapid temperature fluctuations, cold drafts or change in plant locations."
