Scented Geranium Topiary Tips

19 years ago

I'm growing a scented geranium and training it as a topiary,and I was very curious if anyone else has done this successfully.Mine is about 1 ft. tall,but it's still not as full as I'd like it to be.The variety I'm using is called Variegated Nutmeg,and has the typical'crispum'type crinkled leaves.It's a fun hobby,but I'm still rather new at this.If you have any tips about this,please let me know!

It's a fun possibility. What type of topiary are you trying to form?
