| It's the loveliest fuzzy leaf'd plant..and that wonderful smell! Ahh....
Now, I'll have two different distince geraniums to brush past purposely...Citronella and Peppermint. Yum!
And, as always, I continue to love the regular earthy geraniums I've got around here too....=)
Anyone know if the Peppermint ever blooms?

| It should bloom. I have a lemon variety that blooms all the time. My daughter bought 2 from a greenhouse that was going out of buisness in Aug. I keep them in a sunny window in my sun room and feed them with 20-20-20 miracle grow ferilizer. The blossoms are a reddish pink. I planted them in a large pot with some swedish ivy. They really look nice together. Hope that helps. Kathryn in fall like wa state. |

Hi Kathleen,
If the plant you have aquired is P.tomentosum then you have a lovely plant. This plant is very vigorous and may need a large pot, it will flower but, as with many of the scented pelargoniums, the flowers will be a secondary attraction to the scented leaves.
Best wishes
