But if the corm was frozen solid it won't come back, to my knowledge. Good Luck, maybe one of our more experienced growers will pipe in here with more info or ideas! Best Wishes
More than lilkely the dwarf giant was an 'Enano Gigante' (translation, Little Giant). The pstem of these will go mushy under freezing. The corm may survive if not exposed too long and it is not too dry.
