Description
Lemon geranium is a charming, aromatic plant prized for its bright, citrusy scent and attractive foliage. Its small, ruffled leaves emit a refreshing lemon fragrance when brushed or crushed, making it a popular choice for gardens, patios, and indoor spaces. This hardy perennial produces clusters of delicate pink or pale purple flowers during the warmer months, adding both beauty and fragrance to any setting.
Growing up to 60-90 cm tall, lemon geranium thrives in well-drained soil and full sunlight. It’s drought-tolerant once established and can be grown in pots, hanging baskets, or garden beds. The plant’s compact, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for borders and herb gardens, while its natural pest-repelling properties benefit nearby plants.
Lemon geranium leaves are often used in teas, baked goods, and potpourri, adding a hint of citrus flavor and aroma. Their essential oils are valued in aromatherapy for their uplifting and calming effects. The plant’s fragrant foliage also makes it a wonderful addition to homemade herbal sachets.
Versatile and easy to care for, lemon geranium brings a fresh, lemony scent to homes and gardens, enhancing outdoor and indoor spaces with both practical and ornamental appeal.
