ished. Two days prior to the freeze we watered it as I was told to do. Today the color has faded and the branches are limp. Has the freeze killed it? What can we do to save it?

They are very resilient! They grow in my area of TN and we experienced that 6 degrees that was not so pleasant. Although it doesn't get, quite, that cold here every year, it does get below freezing every year. It will make leaves drop, and can even kill some of the branches, but it will come back.

Here is an article that will give you more information on the shrub:
