I don't buy geranium starts any more. I grow them in containers. In the fall, I move the containers to dry locations where they won't get rain. and let them dry out. Them I move them to the garage for the winter. No water, no added light, just dry and frost-free. These are 3 or 4 years old. They get better each year.
The one disadvantage is the plants don't get growing as fast as new starts. But when they do, they are much bigger and more floriferous.
When there is one with nice form and color, it is worth keeping it going.
I have a couple that don't look as good, and will not keep them this winter.
