Default Tender geraniums

Is it too soon to plant them out into tubs? Will they survive a little
frost?

Are you talking Pelagonium or the three tender large Geraniums, canariense,
palmatum**, and maderense?

** G palmatum is hardy with us and seeds around our garden, our mature ones
are just coming into flower.

If it's Pelagonium then it depends on variety but most won't take any frost.

My experience is that they're very sensitive, ie if they get too cold, they don't just die back, they keel over. Not worth taking the risk.
