Scented geraniums are a group of flowering plants known for their fragrant leaves and attractive blossoms. These plants belong to the genus Pelargonium and are cherished for their diverse and pleasant aromas, which can range from citrus and mint to rose and spice. The leaves of scented geraniums are often textured and can be lobed, deeply cut, or ruffled, adding visual interest to their aromatic appeal. They produce small, delicate flowers in shades of pink, white, purple, or red, although the primary draw is their scented foliage rather than their blooms. Scented geraniums are popular in gardens, containers, and as houseplants, and their leaves can be used in potpourri, sachets, and even in culinary applications. Easy to grow and maintain, these versatile plants thrive in well-drained soil and enjoy full sun to partial shade.
