Don't know all my plants but my next door neighbour is a keen gardener and told me to cover mine up after it was too late the other morning.! When the frost catches them the tips go brown but will apparently come back later in the year.Yours may be a bit more sheltered than mine are in Huddersfield.
Cheers Dean.
