I am overwintering my geraniums in cardboard boxes this year. If you have room in your garage or basement, consider saving your geranium plants too. I lift my plants from the ground with a spading fork and brush away as much soil as possible. After they are stored in boxes, I will check the plants each week to remove dead leaves. It’s also a good idea to inspect the geraniums every few weeks for the development of mold or mildew.
“Susan’s in the Garden,”video tutorial demonstrates two techniques for over-wintering your geraniums.
Geraniums are some of my favorite flowers – I bought some that are on clearance one year – and it hooked me – and now I will splurge on one or two because they are great – and usually i put one near the mailbox to add some middle height with the perennials there – a bright pink or red geranium looks so good. Anyhow – great idea to store these over winter – here in va I have had them come back once or twice – only if the enter was mild – and with mulch down….

Give this a try…not all of them will make it, but enough do to make it worth the effort.

Well I do not have any right now – perhaps another time – but I do have a cluster of late zinnia and they have been a pink November treat – ☺️💕

I actually brought mine in this year. I love the blooms in the dead of winter. But, here’s hoping you have an abundance of beautiful plants and flowers next year. May they sleep peacefully tucked away in their winter homes. 🙂
