Saving money on geraniums

Nope, I'm not buying geraniums at an end of season clearance!


It's that time of year for me to move my potted geraniums indoors for winter. These are the same geranium plants that I bought in April of 2015. I overwintered them in a sunny window, November through March, last winter. I then gave them a trim and put them back outdoors on the deck.

I spent about $8 on these, in 2015. So, in effect, I saved about $8 in spring of 2016. And I have every hope that they will make it through this winter, indoors, for flowers next summer. That will save me another $8.

Two side benefits to bringing my geraniums indoors over winter -- beautiful blooms in the house, occasionally, this winter, plus the time savings in potting plants next spring. All I'll need to do is move them back outdoors for all but one plant that I had to dig out of a planter.
