Can I plant my old geranium plant/flower outside? Will it grow back next year?

I got a geranium plant for my birthday. Can it be planted outside and come back next year?


Thanks for your help.

Depends whereabouts in the country you live. It will certainly go outside and bloom like mad all summer. If you live in London or the south you will probably get away with leaving out and it will come again next year. However if you live in the north you need to bring it back in over the winter. I always put mine in the green house, but if you haven't got one anywhere in the house is fine - but don't let them get too hot over the winter. They need to rest and reserve their strength to bloom again next summer.
Reply:Geraniums are very hardy. Just plant it in the garden in full sun and it will keep growing. Frost can cut them back a bit, but just cut off any dead material in the spring when it starts growing again and it will bush up. Also grows well in a pot, where you can move it around the garden and under cover if your weather is very severe. They are very easy to grow from cuttings too
Reply:yes the way our weather is going in the winter {uk} its so much warmer i always lift mine and put in greenhouse and use for cutting
