geranium have stronger odor than the
flower. The heliotrope. like the geranium
grows from slips, and mine is a. lavender
and has a sweet perfume. The verbena
grows from roots. and they are of different
colors, red. white and varegated, the latter
being like mine. The vine in my hanging
basket is what some people call creeping
