Are my seeds all dead?

I planted flower seeds last weekend, and two days ago we had a light frost. It specifically said on the package to plant after all danger of frost. Did I plant too soon? Will the seeds not come up? Will I need to plant more?

Are my seeds all dead?
Your seeds are fine. the reason for the warning id not so much for the seed, but for the benefit of the plant, after it comes from the ground. If your plants are up, cover those bad boys if you get another frost. But you already knew that, Hugh.
Reply:did you cover them? what type of seeds? do you have mulch down. Light frost meaning what 30-34 degrees? If so you should be ok
Reply:It depends on how deep the seeds were planted and how long the frost lasted. Chances are it is ok if it warmed up again quickly. If the cold didn't penetrate thru the soil to the seeds you will be ok.
Reply:Yes, you'll be ok as long as they have not come out of the ground.
