Scented Leaf Geraniums

Displaying 27 items.

Much nicer than pot pourri! Mostly grown for the foliage and scent (some specific, and some pleasantly aromatic) – although some do have extremely attractive blooms. It’s amazing to think you can rub a geranium leaf and smell a lemon! BEST FOR: The herb garden, herbaceous borders, garden tubs and on the windowsill in the small room!

An Aromatic Collection This collection is a great way to receive a good selection of the scented varieties and at a reduced price plus we will also include some of the higher value ones too. We’ll pick a selection of ten to show you the scents we have in our collection as shown in this section. They will include a good range from lemons through to pine so that you can enjoy growing a good selection. Makes an ideal gift also! Only: £14.95

Ashby (Mrs Popperwell 1999) Beautiful deep purple flowers on a strong growing plant with a sweet aromatic smell. Always admired when seen on display. It’s difficult to describe the scents – some have a definite smell and some are just ‘aromatic’ and pleasant – but some of the names do give you a clue – who could doubt what Lemon Fancy smells of?! Only: £5.00

	Attar Of Roses (Cannell 1900)
	A vigorous grower with rose scented leaves and pink flowers. We can always tell if someone is taking scented leaf cuttings as you open the greenhouse door and get hit by a wonderful perfume!
	Only: £1.70

Charity (F Brawner 1996)
A most eyecatching variety and we don’t have anything else like it in our whole collection – the leaves are bright lime green and variegated against dark green. It doesn’t have a definite smell but it is sweet smelling and certainly a beauty to show off.
Only: £2.50

Clorinda (Cannell 1907) Cedar scented leaves with large rose pink flowers. Only: £1.90

Copthorne (Mrs Popperwell 1984) Cedar scented leaves and lovely mallow purple flowers borne in profusion. Very popular. Only: £1.90

	Creamy Nutmeg
	A variegated plant which has lovely foliage - it's small, very pretty and makes a really lovely pot plant with dainty white flowers.
	Only: £1.70

Crispum Variegatum (1774)
Perhaps the best known scented geranium. Used by flower arrangers and can also be “trained” around wire to form shapes. We have grown our own “standard” from it. One to have at home. Clear lemon scent.
Only: £2.20

Filicifolium This is fabulous and looks like a fern! Good grower and the leaves have a sticky feel balsam scent. Very rarely flowers but enjoyable for the foliage alone. Only: £1.90

Graveolens (1774) The vigorous lemon-scented variety from which “Oil of Geranium” is extracted. Oil of geranium is supposed to be very calming in aromatherapy – this must be why we’re all so calm on the nursery! This is the geranium you see in every Chinese take-away as it is such a good air freshener! Also great if your guests have been smoking! Only: £1.70

	Hemley (Mrs Popperwell 1994)
	We've had this one in geranium hospital to build it up over the years! Always proves so popular that we struggle to keep up - but it's had lots of attention and now we have enough to be able to bring it back into the collection. Large growing with beautiful lavender pink flowers.
	Only: £2.20

Lady Mary (Cannell 1910)
Should this be in the Scented Leaf section or the Angel section?! It’s a mixture of the two – as it has nutmeg scented foliage we’ll call it Scented Leaf. A very pretty plant with Angel type flowers.
Only: £2.20

Lady Plymouth (1800) An old favourite and always popular. It is the variegated version of Graveolens with a citrus scent and attractive green and cream leaves – wonderful foliage. Only: £1.70

Lemon Fancy (H Bowie 1979) If you are after a really strong lemon scent then this is the one for you - also has pretty mauve flowers! Only: £1.90

	Little Gem (Cannell 1910)
	A lovely compact dwarf variety with a spicy rose scent and lots of little mauve flowers. It’s lovely to walk through the greenhouse when the scented plants are being worked on – it’s funny that your boss can tell you are working by the aroma you are producing! For once in the world there is a place where having a smelly job has a nice meaning!
	Only: £1.90

Mabel Grey (1960)
This is the strongest lemon scent we have - it's addictive to have a rub of the leaves and a sniff everytime you go near it! Strong and clear lemon scent. H: 12ins.
Only: £2.50

Odoratissimum (1724) We love this variety but always struggle to keep up with demand. Green apples! This scent is very reminiscent of Granny Smith apples – very attractive and would be superb as a small pot plant displayed on the patio table during an afternoon meal outside. Only: £2.20

Orsett (Mrs Popperwell 1994) Very large blooms and we have been impressed by how long it flowers. Beautiful. Only: £1.90

	Pelargonium Dichondraefolium
	A geranium that smells of a Lavender – whatever will they think of next! Isn’t it truly amazing of nature that you can rub a geranium leaf and smell pure lavender. This one has a tricky name but thankfully it has a very simple code number to use to order it! We call it Pel Del on the nursery… well why make life difficult with long latin names?!
	Only: £3.00

Prince Of Orange (1880)
Not orange flowers as you’d think - orange smell! Pale purple flowers - and masses of them. Very popular and a lovely looking plant.
Only: £1.90

Robin (D Hull ) Always popular – rare to find such a strong red colouring in a scented variety. Named after lovely Robin Red Breast no doubt! Easy to grow, good looking and a pleasant smell – what more could you want?! Only: £2.20

Royal Oak This has to be seen to be believed – the leaves really do look like the leaves of the Oak tree! But we can’t promise you acorns – just lots of pretty mauve flowers. Only: £1.70

	Sweet Mimosa
	Deeply cut lobed leaves, a sweet scent and smothers itself in small pretty pink flowers. Of all the Scented Leaves this is the one that flowers
	Only: £1.70

Tomentosum (Jaquin 1790)
The strongest peppermint in our collection – it’s our very own Extra Strong Mint! The large furry, velvety leaves are pleasant to touch and greyish in colour – looks great in a mixed tub.
Only: £1.70

Village Hill Oak (Brigham ) I love the amazing variations of foliage within the Scented varieties – as if it’s not exciting enough to have lots of different scents, there are also all sorts of different foliage shapes, patterns and colours to enjoy. Village Hill Oak has leaves reminiscent of oak leaves although slightly more lobed than Royal Oak. Small lavender flowers. Only: £1.70

Welling (Mrs Popperwell 1994) Pleasantly scented leaves – not a specific smell but very pleasant - and beautiful clear red flowers Only: £1.70

	Wild Spice (Hansons USA )
	Our answer to the Spice Girls! They’ve got Ginger, Posh and all that lot and we’ve got Wild Spice! I love the pretty pink flowers of this plant and it has a lovely citrus aroma – a superb variety to grow and enjoy.
	Only: £1.90
