Kentucky is probably much too cold to grow the tea plant outdoors. You might be able to grow tea plants in a cold frame, or you could grow them in a greenhouse.

For comparison, coastal South Carolina and the milder coastal regions of Washington state both have commercial tea growing operations. The interior of the country, including Kentucky, usually has too extreme cold snaps for the plant. It can take a light frost but cannot handle prolonged cold.
