Geraniums in intensive care!

Hi, I'm Valli and have a tangled cottage garden in Vancouver B.C.
I check in here occasionally and enjoy the posts tremendously.

In previous years, I couldn't bear to let my lovely geraniums die of cold, so dragged them in each year and some of them are 6 years old and five feet tall. The were O.K. down to zero near the house covered.

THIS year, I foolishly believed the weather forecast, but temperatures
plunged to -10 unexpectedly. My poor babies!

One looks dead. Two others have have had strategic amputations and two are 6 foot leafless skeletons. (so pathetic)

A bitter lesson for me, but I'm waiting for spring.

I'm curious to hear from others who grow them tall on a trellis or train them to be standards.

Happy gardening New Year to all. Valli
