Sad to say I am afraid they are gonners:-( While they will take
quite nippy temps, freezing temps as low as 16F are too cold for
pelargoniums and fatal damage occurs. However, if mine, I'd wait
until spring to remove the remains as one never knows with plants;
one or more might have been sufficiently protected by other plants to
come through. Think, however, you might consider lining up new
plants for next season...
