Default Frost Damaged Petunia?

I live in Atlanta, and despite living here for 15 years (and KNOWING
the last frost is always later than you think...), I planted hundreds
of petunia in my flower beds in nice, manure-rich beds, but didn't get
a chance to put mulch around them. That very night a cold front blew
through and temps dropped. It was above freezing most of the night, but
the temps were 30F for about 2 hours before sunrise.

I have Petunias in hanging pots that have come back for the last four years
in a row. Nothing was done after the blooming season. They just keep coming
back.
