A rose-scented geranium at the front gate fell victim to footpath re-sealing several years ago. Last summer a friend gave me several cuttings from her plant and these have thrived among hollyhocks and poppies.
Rose-scented geranium
I love being able to crush the leaves as I go by to release the wonderful scent, and I think this plant can be useful in other ways. Do you know what these are?
“What else can this sweet pink flower do?
Are there culinary uses too?”
Your geranium looks as if it’s thriving. I haven’t heard of this one, but I do love scent in flowers. If the leaves are so aromatic, they would probably be perfect in pot pourri.
Apparently you can use the leaves to make tea, or put them in punch or lemonade. I also saw a suggestion that you line a baking tin with them, bake on top of the, then remove the leaves and the flavour remains. I might try that.
