I foolishly just spent more money on ANNUAL plants than I've ever spent on perennials! It was cold and rainy and I was at HD and these were staring me down. They are special gerberas supposedly grown specifically for HD to sell. They are fabulous. But, now the flowers are all drooping and not bouncing back. They had to go in the garage for the past few days due to our last frost of the season. Anyway, can anyone give me tips. I just can't lose these. They are beautiful, plus my gerberas always come back, so it's not really an annual for me.

This is how they looked after I took them out of the garage, watered them and they spent the day in part sun. Everything they should like. But the flowers drooped and wouldn't bounce back. The leaves look fine. I cut all the flowers off and put them in a vase.
