Tom, there isn't any way that a plumeria would survive in the ground in your zone. If you were in Zone 9, then it would be a test, but a hard freeze will turn a plumie to mush. My friend Scott lives in Kansas, and some of his are so big that he has to lie them down in the garage for seven months of the year. They do fine, and then he root prunes and replants in the spring. Here are some of his pics below.

Barbara, please check out the "Overwintering" section of the Sticky Thread. There are some good links and threads there about winter care.

Nice pics, Jeanne.

Here is Scott and his plumerias behind him.
