Pots of geraniums - what do I do with them over winter?

Will they just pop up again in the summer like the ones in beds if I leave them alone?

cut them back, put them in the shed or somewhere where the frost can't reach them and they should all come back next year. Mine do but I'm in the south.

my Mum brings hers into her conservatory, feeds and cuts them back and keeps flowers on them most of the year-if that's not possible, a frost free place is best, and make sure you get all dead leaves off the compost to stop them getting mildew

If you are in the south they might survive, if we don't get really hard frosts.
I had about 40% survival last year (just didn't get round to bringing them in)

mine are still covered in buds so i have taken them inside.i doubt that they would survive frosts. my mum says to keep them in the porch( which has light) over the winter to keep them going.
