Geraniums

Can anyone help with suggestions about saving my Geraniums over the winter.  No greenhouse and limited space indoors.  Thanks

there pretty hardy, but do u have conservatory, or garage?

If you do then put them there over winter, but i leave mine outside and survival of the fittest, but due to climatic change we have not had server winters here for while,

not sure if that helps m8, as its what i do. but lot more experienced people than me so check posts now and then, be loads of good advice

If they are quite woody, you might try to save them by removing most of the leaves, keeping them as bare root plants and wrapping them well in newspaper or some other medium.  You keep them in dry, cool conditions until the spring.

If they are new plants, then the only thing I can suggest is by taking cuttings in a small tray and keeping them on a cool windowsill over winter.
If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.
