Well when I use to live in SO. California,,,geraniums were perennials...but up here in Spokane WA...they are annuals...but I just could not bring myself to let some of my geraniums die so I dug them out, potted them up & brought them indoors where they spent their Winter....well, they are so ready for Spring and to get their 'toes' back in the ground...well at least into a big ginormus patio pot.(so I can bring them in again next Winter).. I measured the leaves on one of the plants...
wowzers! 5 1/4" across...yep, I think it's time to get them outside.

yep, some of the gals up here siad to do the very same thing your Grammy did...but I do not have a cellar so they sit in pots in a big plastic tub(under bed storage cont) where they get their daily dose of sunshine & I get to enjoy my morning cup of java with them...
ok, so i talk to my plants, call me whacky!

How cool! My Grandmother would pull all of her geraniums with just a little of the dirt still on the roots and put them into her cellar to over winter. She would just give them enough water to stay moist thru the winter, then in the spring she would re-pot them and they would do great. Unfortunately, I don't have a cellar or basement so I can't do it.
