Pelargonium Graveolens (Citrosa Geranium) is a fragrant, evergreen perennial prized for its deeply scented, finely divided green foliage and its strong citrus-like aroma. When brushed or crushed, the leaves release a distinctive lemony scent, making it a popular choice for sensory gardens, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas. In addition to its aromatic appeal, the plant produces small clusters of soft pink to lilac flowers that add seasonal colour and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Compact, hardy, and easy to grow, Citrosa Geranium performs well in sunny, warm positions and thrives in pots, garden beds, and border plantings. Its bushy growth habit makes it ideal for edging pathways or positioning near outdoor living spaces where its fragrance can be fully appreciated. Low maintenance and drought tolerant once established, Pelargonium Graveolens is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a decorative plant that also delivers fragrance, texture, and year-round garden interest.
