It depends on which plants they are, Great. Could you tell us, please, so that we can advise you better?

Canterbury bells, elephants ears lol re your blog; grasses, fuschias, fern, lavender, auberitia, cocosonia, box hedge, corn marigolds, astibiles etc

Let's list them:

Canterbury bells shouldn't need any protection.
Bergenia are evergreen. No protection needed. (haha)
Grasses - only a few need protection e.g. Pennisetum. Leave and cut back in spring.
Lavender - leave it alone as long as you've dead-headed it. Trim a little in spring.
Fuchsias. If they're not hardy, take them into a frost-free place for the winter. Hardy ones can stay there and be cut back when new shoots appear in spring.
Fern. Hardy. leave alone.
Aubrieta - don't cover this! It'll rot! It's hardy.
Crocosmia. Hardy. Pull off the dead leaves when they are ready to come off easily.
Box hedge. Hardy.
Corn marigolds. ???? Annuals???
Astilbes. Will vanish under the soil and pop up next spring. Hardy.

Etc. Don't know it this is hardy? LOL.

Thank you so much spritz for your detailed list. Etc really meant anyone I forgot haha. As for the marigolds , yeah guess there seeds are dispursed all over the place by now. Will have loads if Im lucky next year.

You're welcome. Sorry about the typo! The 'it' in the last sentence should have said 'if'.

If you do think of any more 'Etc' plants, do please ask...

I like plants that seed themselves. :-)))
