Gardening question.I live in West Tennessee, garden zone 7, and just ...

I live in West Tennessee, garden zone 7, and just planted several Kleims Hardy Gardenias.  The limbs are falling to the ground at the base of the plant and some of the leaves are turning yellow.  They have only been planted a week.  What do you think the problem is?  At first, I thought maybe a cat was crawling through them, but then I noticed that every one that I planted is doing the same thing.  Could I have planted it to deeply?  Should it have been raised above soil level?  We have had one drenching rain, but other than that, I have watered it often.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi - I live in E. Tennessee, same zone but more rain, I think.  I have no experience with gardenia's but I do know that after I put in a new plant the leaves tend to turn yellow at the bottom.  It comes into it after a week or so, but you said it's been that long already.  I know also that I tend to over-water, (just my nature), and the leaves will definately turn yellow if you do that.  I'd stop watering it for a few days and see if it changes any, if it looks better then you'll know.  How deep did you plant it?  Like everything else? Root and a little stem underground?  Let me know the outcome.  Thanks, Jan
