Coleus Dies in Freezing Temperatures

We experienced weather in the 20s two days ago and lost several plants. Coleus was one plant which did not do well. Almost all of the basil died as well. I should have thrown blankets over the plants. That's my lesson for the day. These coleus were in 2 ft planters and received pretty strong wind as well as cold.

I live in Ga. and am used to a cold winter. I think of Florida and think warm. I bet you froze. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

My coleus looked like that the day after the cold days (I am in Palm Beach County), and I watered it and it has come back completely already!!! Maybe there is hope???
