Good evening,
I've got some beautiful geraniums & would like to keep them for next year.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?? Do I need to cut back all leaves & buds, and then put in soil until next year - then when to I plant them out
Many thanks

I always put mine into pots. Sometimes the greenhouse is too cold and wet. I take the leaves off as they turn yellow....they can go mouldy. I was told you cut for shape only. I have had the same plants for years. I take my cuttings in the spring as I find it harder getting them thro' the winter months.

I over winter about 20 geranium's on the windowsills of unheated rooms.

I put mine in a spare bedroom, where it's cool and dry. I take the yellowing leaves off. They last for years.
I repot them the following spring, and cut them back if they've gone leggy.

Everyone is assuming that you mean Pelargoniums. Is this the case or are they hardy Geraniums?
