Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Geranium 'Charity'(Pelargonium 'Charity')Herb Plant in 1Litre Pot
We are all accustomed to seeing traditional geraniums planted as a striking bedding plant in the summer, and while these are good examples of the pelargonium family, the scented-leaf geraniums are somewhat more demure, but equally as fabulous as plants, for both indoors and out. Great grown in containers on the patio where the smell of the leaves can be enjoyed as you brush past.
The scented-leaf geraniums tend to have very interesting leaf shapes and colours, ranging from dark green through to very pale lime, as well as variegated varieties too. The borders of the leaves can be deeply cut or frilled and vary in size, and of course, a host of wonderful fragrances to please the nose. Charity' is a compact pelargonium which will grow up to 30cm with palmately lobed light green leaves with a golden margin and small pink-flushed white flowers; the leaves scented of lemon.
Herb Usage
An infusion made from the leaves can be used to flavour drinks, cakes and even ice-cream.
