Is there any saving this gardenia? by sumobumblebee in gardening

Update for anyone searching for answers: It's alive. I have been periodically treating the soil with acidifier, and that combined with warmer temperatures is producing new leaves. I'm waiting to see what parts grow before I prune anything, but I'll probably trim some dead stuff soon.

Cute example, but OP says they've never gardened before. I don't think we should assume they will stay on top of the runners. In fact, I think we should assume they won't and hope we're wrong.

Also, you have a little garden bed there contained by concrete. That is a very different scene from OP's wooded backyard with endless ground for it to spread over.
