Can anyone tell me the best way of overwintering pelargoniums? I had some in
the border which I have lifted, potted up and put in a cold frame and some
other potted ones in the porch that have stopped flowering. (The present Mrs
Jones has issued an ultimatum - she wants the space for her cyclamen and
azales which are flowering.) The pelagoniums in the cold frame have been
badly scorched by the recent frosts. I haven't got a greenhouse, the garage
is not really frost proof but I have got space under the house though but
they would be in the dark all winter. Any ideas?

Too late for this year, but next year you could take cuttings, which
would take up a lot less space than the big plants, which you would then
ditch once they'd finished flowering.

I have one in the porch which has been flowering continuously (including
all through winter) for about 4 years. It's not the most elegant
specimen, but it gives a welcome splash of colour.
