The few I have are about twelve inches tall are light blue/mauve and spead a huge distance. I do not know the name.
Do you mean the hardy geraniums, sometimes called cranesbill geraniums? You can plant them in spring or fall, whenever they are available in your area.

Hello! I took geranium cuttings 6 weeks ago (late summer) and now have about 40 rooted plants in 4" pots. Can I overwinter plants that small? I can a) keep them above freezing in my garage (lowest temp 33F) and give them supplemental light or b) bring them inside at 70 degrees with no direct sun. I have successfully dry-stored mature zonal geraniums in that garage just fine, but these rooted cuttings are still quite small. Is there hope?
It is likely that many of them will survive. Just treat them as you would when overwintering larger plants.
Letting them dormant, as you are wanting to do, is best. This article will help:

How and when do I collect seeds from my geraniums?
Perennial geraniums, also called cranesbill, will produce seed if you don't deadhead the flowers at the end of summer. The seedpods are elongated and start out green, then change to brownish when ripe. It's important to harvest the seedpods before they "explode" or the seeds will be lost to the wind. You can enclose the pods in mesh bags to prevent that from happening. They must be able to get sunlight, however, so nothing opaque. Once you collect the pods, leave them in a dry, warm area till the pods split, revealing the seeds.
Here is how to germinate the seeds:

I have geraniums potted plants in my all season room. I need to know how to care for the plants. I brought the geraniums in for the winter.
During winter, care for indoor geraniums by placing them in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot, and maintain a cool indoor temperature, ideally between 45-55°F (7-13°C). Trim back leggy or dead growth, and consider reducing fertilization to once a month. Keep an eye for pests and ensure proper ventilation to promote overall health during the winter months. You can also force dormancy, which is another good way to overwinter them.

Geraniums we want to keep are getting leggy. Can we simply pot them deeper? They are an heirloom we won't throw out. Blossom color fabulous. but after 20 years, leggy. please help. Indoor plants except in full summer
During the summer, you can pinch back the growing tips to encourage branching. Before bringing it inside in fall, cut the branches back by one-third. You also can start new plants from cuttings. Here is how:

Should geraniums be indoors during winter
To keep geraniums healthy during winter , it's advisable to bring them indoors. Geraniums are sensitive to frost and prefer temperatures above 50°F (10°C). Before moving them, inspect for pests and prune any dead leaves or flowers. Place the geraniums in a bright location, ideally near a south-facing window, to ensure they receive enough light during the shorter winter days. Water them sparingly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Additionally, you might consider reducing fertilization during the winter months since their growth slows down.

My geranium plant has keeps growing holes! I’ve been spraying neem oil on it thinking it is a pest problem but it is not going away and the holes keep spreading. Is this contagious to other plants? How do I stop the spread to other parts of the plant that haven’t been infected yet? Should I prune this part of the plant away and starting from where?
It looks like leaf miners on the leaves with zigzags. They are hard to treat because the "miner" is inside the leaf. Go ahead and pinch off the leaves where the leaf stem meets the main stem. It also looks like you have caterpillars or grasshoppers feeding on the leaves. Check the plants carefully for a pest that might be munching on the leaves. They may be hiding at the base of the plant. I would move the plant away from your other plants till you find the suspect that is eating. It could even be slugs at night.
