The October 13th work party at Four Springs will be the annual removal of geraniums and planting of bulbs and primroses. If you are willing to provide a storage spot for potted geraniums for the winter, please let Bev know.
Here are Bev's easy directions for storing geraniums for the winter:
- Place the pots in your garage.
- Don't bother to cut back at this point except to remove dead flowers, etc.
- Check every month to see if they need water. They should not need water more than once or twice before spring.
- In the spring, early April, cut back, leaving them 3 to 5 inches tall.
- Start watering and put them where they get light.
- By late April start bringing them outside during the day and back in the garage at night for about 10 days.
- Then put them outside until its time to replant them.
