Impatiens walleriana cold hardiness??

I just planted a patch of healhty Impatiens walleriana from a cell-pack flat next to the house in a semi-sheltered area. Now they're predicting temps for the next 2 nights in the mid to low 30s. Should I worry about them? Protect them somehow?

It really depends on the soil. If it cold and soggy no they wont be very hardy. I have had wallerianas take the 30s but once you really get near freezing they will die. A sheltered area is good though.
