| The first step is to distinguish between Geraniums and Pelargoniums. Read The FAQ. Next, you will find it obvious that most Geraniums are hardy perennials, although there are a few tender species and a few very short-lived species. Then, you will find that Pelargoniums are tender perennials, killed by freezing conditions, so that many people grow them as bedding annuals. In frost-free conditions they will live for decades, so you can grow them as houseplants, in a frost-free greenhouse, or bring them indoors for the winter. |
