HI CORFIOT
I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH A YELLOW GERANIUM VERY INTERESTING. IS IT THE HERBACEOUS TYPE OR THE PELARGONIUM TYPE? |

Looks like the perlagonium type from that link, and it also says it is half hardy. This means the plant is able to cope with temperatures down to 0°C (32°F) but not hard frost. So if planted out you may be advised to lift it before frosts come or else grow it in a container outdoors, moving it in when when frosts are near.
Of course you could grow it indoors all the time or else grow it outdoors but take a load of cuttings growing them indoors to make up for winter kills. _________________ ______________________________
