Wow, what a plant! Big and bushy with nicely cut and lobed foliage, this scented geranium produces a citrus scent that will have you looking for the citrus trees! Rubbing fresh leaves on skin not only produces a sweet aroma but is reputed to even deter pesty mosquitos. Perfect for potpourris and, also, for growing in containers, inside or out. Loves full sun. Annual.
