Can I overwinter these plants under glass or should I destroy them? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Rust disease is common on geraniums and reduces their foliage and flowering. The chances are that it will affect these plants again. They are not worth retaining and new plants will give better results.
