I am rapidly becoming interested in growing Ixora. The only problem is that I live in Zone 6 and I'm not sure if it can be moved inside for the winter and treated as a houseplant. Any ideas?

As Ixora are a group of tropical plants then I would be inclined to move them indoors during cold weather.

The hardiest camellia I know of is 6 at its hardiest. Must be a kind I haven't heard of.

That might be Japonica, which is a popular type of camellia, not sure about its cold hardiness.
