What a difference a touch of frost makes Eileen - beautiful :)  I am sure the plant will be ok, they are pretty hardy.  Judging by the number of buds, it will look a picture in the spring.  Don't forget to post a piccie then :)

Amazing what frost will do for a plant. This is Dryas octapetala.

But this just looks as if it is frosted. Cardoon leaves, silver in the Winter sun.
