BQ, we take them out of the pots in the fall, shake some dirt off them and put them in a big paper bag each. They will keep all winter and then start coming back to life in the spring with new shoots in the old parts.

Some of the biggest Geraniums you buy at the nursery are second or even many year plants.

My Dad always hung theirs from the rafters in the cellar. He always saved his. If yours don't stay out all year, try it. I suppose most places down there don't have cellars tho..;)

That is incredible about your geraniums. I've planted some desert type plants which flower this time of year, but I continue to be amazed that the geraniums don't get zapped in this heat. I think I put them into our AZ Room when the temps dropped to freezing; I can't quite remember. The AZ Room is still pretty cold, but a little more protected. No cellars in 99% of the homes here, too bad!

I could make some good shark traps down there.
