Description
(Pelargonium graveolens)
A strong scented pelargonium with cut white edged leaves and lavender pink flowers in spring.
Growing Tips
Plant in almost any well drained spot in the garden and does well in poor dry soils and exposed positions. Plant near paths for pleasant fragrance.
Use
The leaves can be added to salads and deserts or used in the baking of cakes and biscuits. Gives an exotic peppery rose flavour to jellies, jams and cookies. A hot cup of herbal tea with a few leaves of Stevia and some fresh Lady Plymouth leaves makes a refreshing and tasty afternoon tea.
