Overwintering Geraniums: Cuttings or Bare-Root Storage in Paper Bags

Two Reliable Methods

1. Cuttings: 3-inch cuttings rooted in 1:1 sand/peat in paper cups.
2. Bare-root bag: Dig before nights below 40°F; place in brown paper bag in cool garage. Check late Dec: if root ball powder-dry, soak, dry slightly, rebag. Yellow leaves okay; shriveled stems = too dry. Mid-March: soak in bucket, pot up, move out after frost.

Surprising how fast sticks perk up!
