Remember This Geranium?
Thought you'd like to see it again......I still love the folage.
It is not to late, just pull off some shots/ branches/parts and put them in a pot.. indoor in a not to hot window or ??
Never tried, but theory is nice to know too

Okay, these are STILL looking good.....How do I save them? I think my neighbor would just take her regular geraniums out of the dirt and put them in the basement....but isn't too warm down there? I'm going to have to ask again what she did......I do know that she said sometimes they live, and sometimes they die......Please tell me step-by-step. Rmember, I'm blond!
This is from today......I totally love the folage!!

You can always grow it as a houseplant thats what my grandmother always did. They are perennial in nice warm, tropical climates. Or if space is an issue, just root a cutting and keep it as a houseplant.
I went on a "geranium" binge this spring I've got about a dozen different ones, one like yours, several variegates, gold leaf etc... I put them all in the greenhouse for the winter. It's only heated to about 45* and they have done fine in years past when I've kept a few over.
Cuttings are easy. Just cut off a piece, stick it in damp medium and it will root. I took about 2 dozen cuttings of mine a couple of weeks ago. All but 2 rooted, but I think those 2 cuttings were a little too soft and green.

Thanks Mary Ann & Jody!!
Boy, I'm not sure if DH will like it if I bring in one of the pots....I have two of this geranium on the front porch. One on each side.....I love the folagae...(have I said that? ...hehe)....So, I think I might try both ways, bringing one in, and taking cuttings from the other one.....after I take cuttings from the one, can I keep the roots on the cut up one, and put it in a bag like Mary Ann said? Think it will live? Well, I think tha's what I will try....
Thanks again you guys!!

Hey Miss Lucy
After three years OC finally learn how to use the spell check on here. No more misspelled words (he hopes)
Question ?? I know this is an Old Photograph, but what is the green and wine plant in with your red flower ? OR is that the foliage ??
Is that a BIRD Bath YOU HAVE IT PLANTED IN ?? COOT

There may be snow in the garden, but there will always be eternal springtime in the heart of this old gardner - Saying of Old Coot
