Default Geraniums

Is it sensible to leave geraniums in their pots
when putting them in a flower-bed,
so that they are easier to bring indoors for the winter?
If so, should one first transfer to larger pots?


It's usual to take cuttings for overwintering Pelagoniums not keep the old
plant which by then is usually not looking at it's best, although that may
be just because I've taken all those cuttings. :-)
Professional gardens do plant in pots in bedding displays to make it easier
to swap plants as they come in and out of season.
