    Hi everyone,

    In the summer, I bought a Pelargonium Lord Bute, I just loved the picture of the flowers. Think I bought it a bit late because, although it's a healthy, bushy plant now (it's in a pot), it hasn't flowered much this year - then again, they were young plants when purchased.

    Anyway, I didn't realise they weren't hardy so i now have the dilemma of what to do to try to keep it alive during the winter.
    Two options - I can get my dad to move it into the shed which has a three good size windows for light and a few gaps in the wood for air to get in. And then presumably I'd have to water every few days? Or I can bring it down into the yard where it would get some shelter from the worst of the weather - and it would be warmer next to the house. I live in South Wales so we get a fair bit of rain and the last 2v winters have also brought a lot of snow and frost.
    Help!
