Has anyone tried to keep their potted zonal geraniums year round? If so, how did you prepare them for colder months?

I keep mine year round. In the winter it doesn’t really bloom/ I water when needed.

Do you trim them back and bring indoors?

### Cheryl commented on 2026-09-24

Just the dry leaves.

I trim mine back some and put them in my basement window where it is cooler. Water them when I remember.😉 This will be my 4th winter bringing them in and they do great!
