Geraniums are one of the most popular annual flowers and one of the easiest to grow. Zonal Geraniums (pelargonium) are big and beautiful and can cost anywhere from $3 - $5 a piece for one 4” plant. If you buy a lot of them, that can really add up. Did you know you can overwinter your Geraniums even in colder gardening zones?
I'm in Minnesota (that's Zone 4 in the gardening world) and I've been keeping my Geraniums over winter the past few years. No, you won't have scraggly, ugly plants sitting in your window all winter. This method takes up barely any space at all. Plus, you don't even have to be a Gardener or have a "green thumb" to overwinter Geraniums.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
We live in So Texas and the garage rarely gets under 65 all year long. My Geraniums are getting a bit scraggly now. Can they be stored in a warmer garage?
Will this work with Begonias
Is there some tips we should follow in growing Houseplants--Shamrocks....the deep bergundy ones??? before we moved the plant was in full glory and now in another town... still North window... it wants to fall flat. I stopped fertilizing for the witter---would that be the problem???
