    It depends entirely on the plant. Some plants can't withstand any cold at all, even above freezing. Others can easily survive well below freezing.

    Some can, some can't. Most probably can.

    Yes, but sometimes the leaves experience EVAORATION and that removes heat. Frost can appear on plants in 38 degrees F and destroy the leaves, killing the plant. 35 degrees is very dangerous for plants.

    Cover them with newspaper or plastic sheets.  Earth's heat will save them from freeze.
