Been in Gilchrist for 6 years now. Some of our plantings over the years (now dead or thriving...) may not be frost resistent, but we loved the look. After losing some early on, I typically don't take a chance now.

Forecast for 34 or so I moved 3 potted plants into garage, and covered 4 flowering plants and our braided Bougainvillea that is just flowering again. Just to be safe. Glad I did, noticed frost on our neighbor's roofs. And when going out for the paper earlier, frost on our front grass. Only took 25 minutes to move and cover the plants. Better safe than sorry.
