Transplanting
I want to transplant a lantana bush that's flowering now. Good idea? Bad?

great idea and time BUT, prune it back or at least dead head it and water it well during the winter if we don't get our rains......mac

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

The lantana has survived. Related question now: I have a couple of "mosquito plants" or citronella in pots, that the Internet tells me are related to geraniums. They're very large and healthy (surprisingly, since I'm not talented with plants) and I want to preserve them for outdoors next spring.
We are in zone 8a, and the Net says they aren't safe outdoors throughout our winter.
Should they be actually in the house where they will be warm or in the garage where they will be protected from the extreme temps if we have any this winter?
Y'ALL MEANS ALL.

Don't known about your mosquito plants, but my mother always used to bring her geraniums into the garage. She'd trim them back and water them occassioinaly. [I know you'll forgive my terrible spelling, but this is one word that always gets me, and I'm too tired and lazy tonight to go look it up.]

We have a couple of citronella plants, too. Clipped off the dead stuff and put them in the garage. We leave the light on in there. They've been nice and green since Nov 11th.
