Default Freeze Warning - What Plants to Protect?

Happy New Year to all....

We are greeted this New Year's Day with a hard freeze warning for Wed night into Thurs am. As a relative Fla/TV newbie with landscaping that's only about 7 months old, I'm not sure how or what to protect from the cold. The following is a list of the plants, trees, and flowers I have....

Queen Palm, Hibiscus, Bottlebrush, knockout rose, blue daze, penta, lantana, butterfly bush, yesterday/today/tomorrow. Everthing is happily blooming right now...how will a hard freeze affect them and is there anything I can do to protect any of these?

Many thanks to the green thumbs out there for your advice.
