Scented Geraniums

This Product is Available Now.

Supplied as a plant grown in a 7cm pot (supplied in mixed colours only)..

These were much favoured by the Victorians for their distinctive highly scented foliage when squeezed between finger and thumb. Perfume of citron, peppermint, sandalwood, orange, and apple are but some of the scents. The leaves were put to use to scent fine linen and of course Pot Pouri, also for flavouring in cooking.

Flowers are very pretty too although not so dominant as the large flowered border Geraniums. These can be grown in the garden, window box, conservatory and window sill.

• Flowers intermittently throughout the year.
• Grows to approximately 3-4ft high or can be kept smaller by hard pruning.
• Thrives in full sun.
• Plant 2'6" apart.
• Frost tender - so ensure these are given Winter protection

These plants are not freshly grown this year and as a result may be a little pot bound, potted up they will continue to grow beautifully.
