āIāve always thought scented Pelargoniums are rather overlooked as houseplants.
Fragrans is a favourite of mine, small, soft grey-green leaves, a naturally compact habit and the most wonderful warm, spicy scent when you brush the foliage. Put it on a bright windowsill and you donāt need to wait for flowers to enjoy it.
Thatās what I love about the scented varieties. You live with them a little differently. Attar of Roses for its unmistakable rose fragrance, Radula for those beautifully divided leaves, each has its own character.
If youāve only ever grown Pelargoniums outside, make room for a scented one indoors. I think youāll be surprised by just how good a houseplant they makeā.
