Overview

Scented Geraniums (Pelargonium spp.), aromatic perennials, flaunt a bouquet of fragrances from citrus to spice. Foliage shape varies, fostering textural interest in gardens up to 3 feet wide and 2 feet high. Hardy in zones 10-11, they require full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Ideal for container planting or borders, their scented leaves offer a sensory delight, while sparse blooms add a subtle splash of color.
