Geranium graveolens - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection

Pelargonium

Tender Perennial

 
This is an extremely old variety that never fails to put on a good show, both for the fact that it grows large and also the wonderful old fashioned talcum powder scent. Ideal for growing indoors where it makes a great houseplant. This is the geranium that ‘oil of geranium’ is extracted from and there is a whole industry growing thousands of this plant ... I prefer to limit the numbers to a pot of three which I enjoy in my conservatory! Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 30cm (12").

Pot up plugs into 9cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions for transplanting later on. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant geranium plants into borders and containers in a sunny or semi shaded position.
Feed and water plants frequently. Deadhead faded geranium flowers to encourage more spectacular blooms to be produced.
