Temperatures here in Las Vegas, NV have been in the high 80s to mid 90s. Scented geraniums LOVE this weather! The picture above shows a 16" pot with two Rose Geraniums (P. lucaeflora) and one Chocolate Mint Geranium (P. 'Chocolate Mint'). Most of the growth you see below has happened in the last 2-3 weeks! Combined container plantings like this are a great way to get maximum impact from your scented geraniums.
