That would be iffy. If you'd be heartbroken to lose the plant, get
it inside.

By the way, here's a map of planting zones:
http://www.blossomswap.com/zone.html

In the future, it would help to be specific about your location and
planting zone. Pennsylvania's like NY - a mix of zones based on
terrain, proximity to water, etc.

It's two zones. So tell me which zone of the two will allow geraniums
to overwinter outside?

Zone 5 - lows from -10 through -20 degrees

Zone 6- lows from 0 through - 10 degrees.


Actually, there are areas along the northern border near Western NY
which behave like zone 4, but you're not there so never mind. :-)

Neither one, unless you have absolute confidence in a certain area
around your house that's already a "mini-climate" of its own. For
instance, you might find that on the East side, near your foundation,
certain things survive which are not supposed to be hardy in your
zone. I wouldn't risk it with a prized plant, though.

So you were wrong when you first posted this advice?

Not really.

I didn't expect you to admit it. (that's why you snipped your re-posted
bad advice)

Perhaps I assumed too much about you.

Right. Never assume people won't recognize bad advice.
