Hibiscus - doomed
zinnias - annuals - dead forever
gerbera - might come back from a freeze. should be brought into the house
and babied until the spring - but it likes cool temperatures in winter -
(55-60, not 75-85).

I accidentally left my potted Hibiscus outside and we had a freeze It is
all black and dried out looking...will it come back next Spring, or is it
doomed?

When the zinnias are done for the Summer, should I cut them back all the

way
to the ground, or just deadhead them?

Same question with Gerbera (or is it Gerber) daisies...

I had a few Crossandra plants that got zapped by the freeze as well, but
from what I'm reading online, looks like they're a goner...guess I will

just
keep the rest in pots and bring them inside for the Winter.

Thanks for any help...I've been gardening for years, but I'm still

learning!
