aka Pelargonium

Pelargonium. A scented geranium grown for beauty, fragrance, essential oil and culinary use. Scented with a nutty aroma from bright red flowers, decorative growth and well-formed leaves produced on a thick luxurious bush. Full sun and well drained soil. Perennial.

Scented Geraniums make an outstanding centerpiece for patios! The fragrant foliage releases an intoxicating aroma when brushed against or crushed. Plants are also nice along borders and walkways where the scent can be enjoyed. Dried leaves make a delightful addition to potpourris and herb pillows. Try adding some leaves to bath water for a relaxing experience.
