Excellent for hanging baskets. The fragrant foliage is best used in sachets, potpourris, and jellies. This variety produces a bushy, round plant with light green leaves and abundant, showy lavender flowers. The leaves are used primarily in potpourris. Because geraniums that are grown from seed often don't have the same scent as the parent plant, it is best to start with cuttings rooted in damp sphagnum moss plus perlite or vermiculite.
Plant geraniums outside after danger of frost is past in moist, well-drained soil in full sun.
Harvest the leaves any time, and use either fresh or dried. Before frost, take cuttings to root for growing indoors through the winter. James C.
