Scented Geraniums

Las Vegas, NV
USDA Hardiness Zone 8a
Sunset Western Climate Zone 11

My name is Linda Dawn Hill. I have been gardening all my life. In grade school, one of my teachers gave me a cutting of a zonal geranium and told me that if I put it in some soil, it would grow roots and become a whole new plant! For the last few years I have enjoyed growing zonal and scented geraniums in pots on my patio in Las Vegas, NV. I've found them to be incredibly trouble-free and lots of fun. They are also nice to share. And that's good because I still enjoy propagating plants. ;)

Pelargonium 'Orange' (orange scented)

The gardens extend to the far reaches of my front and back yard located in Las Vegas, NV. I grow herbs, succulents and roses. I also grow a lot of plants in large pots and containers on the patio. All my scented geraniums are growing in containers. I've come to believe that they are the perfect patio container plant for the Southwest US.

Pelargonium 'Phyllis' (spicy scented)

I thought it would be fun to document, through text and pictures, the joy of growing scented geraniums. Visit the Geranium Blog for the play by play. My Geraniums tells about the scented pelargoniums in my personal collection. And How to Grow offers growing advise.
