Donna,
Whether or not your plants survive depends on numerous things:
* If your plants had a chance to cool down and go dormant before the cold
weather hits.
* If you had mulched your plants for insulation in lieu of a snow cover.
* If you are growing plants hardy to whatever zone that temperature is
(sounds like maybe zone 7)
* How many days/nights in a row this goes on.
Chances are you will lose a few things. I know I would if the temps you
mention came suddenly here. I don't think anything in my garden is dormant.
We have only had one or two nights of barely freezing weather. The
Hellebores are blooming and the Daffs are up about 4". If February is cold,
we will lose a lot.

Weather report for the deep South
It is 12:05 by my clock and the temp is 14 and the wind chill is 4.
Predicted for this night is 10. Now that is cold for my part of the
country. I'm concerned about some of my plants. Since this is very
unusual weather for us, I'm wondering if some of my plants will survive.
I guess if they survive in other parts of the country then they will
survive for me.
