Keep em Blooming as long as you can.

Geraniums and Hibiscus seem to love to grow all year long. I just bring them inside and they do very well. Of course they are to dirty for the upstairs so they hang around the basement near the walk out area which gets pretty good sun. Even the water plants that the fish like to eat last for quite a long time. I hate to see the cold outdoors kill all the plants, so this way I get to enjoy some of them all year long.
