One technique that often works is to wrap the plants in cloth. For example, I have hanging baskets of fuchsia plants, and when the weather is predicted to be below freezing, I wrap them with towels.

Also, heavy watering before the cold arrives can help to protect plants from damage.

For very cold or extended cold weather, you can bury the plants with mulch such as straw or wood chips. This will insulate the plants from extreme cold.

Will perennial plants left outside in pots come back?

Yes, as long as they're in a large enough pot and have enough dirt to protect the roots from freezing if you live in a northern climate. If you do have severe winter weather, you might consider putting the pots in a protected area close to the house and/or mounding the pots with leaves or mulch for extra protection.
