Indoors and dry is the safe answer, and this is what I do in the South Hams
for special tub and basket plants. Those in the borders do survive to grow
the next year.
I know that fuschias and bougainvillias have less hardy strains. The
intensely variagated pelargoniums are more difficult to propagate and in the
absence of any other advice on their hardihood I would bring these indoors.

The message
from TriciaMcCartney
contains these words:

I have several thriving pelagoniums acquired this year from cuttings
from my mother, and this will be their first winter. I have read a
great deal of advice on overwintering indoors or in a glasshouse. I
have also noticed that alot of people leave theirs planted in their
gardens down here. Any advice from others living in damp, frost-free
(most of the time) West Cornwall woud be appreciated.

I overwinter them (in Norfolk) indoors, as cuttings, and by spring they
are ready to be put out.

In Cornwall, they might survive the winter, especially if protected with
fleece if there is a threat of frost.
