Pelargonium sp. - Scented Geranium

The Scented Geranium is a true harbinger of springtime -- a sign of longer days and warmer temperatures to come, and an invitation to get outside and explore the changing season. A classic container plant for the patio or sunny windowsill, these Pelargonium species are prized for their aromatic, vibrantly green foliage and delicate red, pink or white blossoms.  Lightly rubbing the foliage will release the plant's natural aroma, which -- depending on the species or cultivar -- evokes rose, mint, citrus, pine and beyond.

Truly a vintage beauty, these plants have been grown and hybridized around the world since the 1700s for their fragrant leaves. We love the connection to the past and recognize why Pelargonium have been so popular for more than 300 years.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright dappled to direct light
• Water: Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry
• Considerations: Scented Geraniums can be grown outdoors from spring to fall; bring inside before first frost. Indoors, be sure to provide plenty of sun. Prune plant regularly for a bushy, compact growth habit
