Geraniums/ Zonal PG

 Still flowering and putting out new buds.
What is the best way to over winter them?
Just put them in a shed?

I am reluctant to bring them in until the weather turns really frosty, but
after that I am not sure that a shed will keep them above 0C.

Will they be O.K. in their current pots away from serious frost?

Chers

Amazing how damp it gets in a shed, and that's what does for them IME. I
lost all mine last year so I'm trying a plastic cold frame lined with
bubble wrap this time. No condensation so far.

They are best kept on the dry side during cold conditions so you need to
bring them indoors onto a windowsill in a cold room until the soil dries out
then you could put them out in the shed as long as it stays frost free.
Alternatively take lots of cuttings, pot them up , water them, put them on a
windowsill and don't water them again unless they wilt late winter.
