The bewitching Lemon Scented Geranium

The freshly scented lemon fragrance in the leaves of the beautifully pink flowering geranium has been a magical discovery!

The oils of the leaf are irresistible! One cannot walk through labyrinth without being lured into picking the leaf to rub the oily lemon scent on one’s hands.

We infuse the beguiling leaves into a calming tea.

We add the fresh leaves to flavour poultry, fish, sorbet and salads, too!

The citrus scented crushed leaves repel insects. The essential oils can be used as in perfumes, soaps, astringents, pot-pouri and aromatherapy oils.

A resilient bushy evergreen, this appealing plant is not just pretty in pink!
