| I started some unknown hardy geraniums from seeds this spring and they grew quite well. The ones that bloomed I think I have identified as 'Buxtons Variety'. These have dropped their seeds everywhere, and now there are seedlings coming up all around them in the gardens. Will these little ones survive the winter outside? They already have their first true leaves, and the first frost is still several weeks away. Can I just leave them, or should I dig them and bring them in? |

| You should have no trouble overwintering them in your climate. I managed to keep two plants of 'Buxton's Blue' going over last winter through a week of -40 degrees by mulching them with straw. Leo |
