Tango Geraniums? I have 2 that I want to plant in a bed. They will get an abundance of sunlight. Is this OK?

Also, will they regrow next spring? Or, is there a method to caring for them?

Reyn is right, these are just fine in full sun.



These are Pelargonium x hortorum, which can go in full sun or part shade. They are great bedding or container plants and are known as zonal geraniums, geraniums, bedding geraniums, etc. They grow very well in most of the U.S. and while they are true perennials, they are usually treated like annuals where they are not winter hardy. They can only take some frost but not repeated or several nights of frost. So, if you live in a cold zone you can over winter them by bringing them indoors during the winter months or try saving and starting some cuttings in a cup on your window sill and re-pot the following spring.



Have fun!
Reply:Geraniums will take full sun. Don't know that they're winter hardy in your zone. Can be brought inside to overwinter, or take cuttings and root them in water for next year. No special care, water, food, remove spent blooms and/or leaves.
