How can I help my bulbs survive and bloom?

My bulbs were planted in Dec. because they had begun to sprout. Now a cold wave has laid them flat on the ground. The weather was in the low 20's. There was about a 2 1/2 inch groth above the ground. These are hardy bulbs which have bloomed for years and I don't want to lose them. I live in coastal SC.How can I help my bulbs survive and bloom?
Just cover them with a mulch of pine needles, or straw, etc.


Most spring-blooming bulbs are cold hardy %26amp; shouldn't be hurt by the cold, especially with a mulch around them.





Also, they'll have the best chance of survival if they already had an extensive root system.
