Pelargonium radens
Rasp-leaved multifid-leaved pelargonium
Description
Pelargonium radens, often known as the rose-scented geranium, is favored for its fragrant foliage and delicate blooms. This plant is characterized by its deeply lobed leaves, which release a rose-like scent when touched or brushed. The flowers, typically pink or purple, add a touch of color to the garden. This species requires full sun and well-drained soil and is relatively drought-tolerant. Its fragrance makes it a delightful choice for container gardens or edging along pathways. Propagation can be achieved through cuttings, which root easily. Regular pruning can encourage a more compact growth habit and increased fragrance production.
