Geranium Peppermint Scented (Pelargonium 'Tomentosum')Herb Plant in 1L 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. Pelargonium 'Tomentosum' or peppermint scented pelargonium has peppermint scented leaves and has extremely pretty delicate white flowers which are held in clusters and are long lived up to six months (frost dependent). The height of the plant is approximately 45 cm.
Herb Usage
An infusion made from the leaves can be used to flavour drinks, cakes and even ice-cream.
