Wisteria poorly due to frost damage?

My wisteria started to break bud a couple of weeks ago. It's only small having been planted last year and achieved one season's growth. A couple of days ago the leaves looked fine.

Today I notice all the leaves are mostly limp and horribly dry-looking. We had a frost here a couple of night's ago so I can only assume it's damaged it (actually all my flowering plants now look the worse for wear)

I take it that's it for this season? Or will the wisteria recover and grow some more? It had one or two small flower spikes last year so I'm really hoping it might have time to put on a small show this year.

Anyone else in east midlands had the same thing happen?

    Just give it time and see what happens. Nature is quite resilient and a plant like wisteria could easily recover.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I was going to leave mine but I came home to find the mother in law has dug it out! I didn't half shout at her ...
