Default pelargonium overwintering

According to RHS, soft stemmed pelargoniums can't be stored in a semi
dormant state over winter, so presumably not much point in hanging them
upside down somewhere cool in the house.
The plan this year is to trim to 4", put them in smaller pots, and cover
the whole thing with 2-3 layers of bubble wrap. I'll close the top with
a peg but maybe leave a little space for ventilation. As my shed proved
too damp last year (I lost the lot), I'm thinking of leaving these
outdoors against a south facing wall.
Anyone got any bright ideas? I don't have a greenhouse or cold frame
BTW. Thanks for any suggestions
