Lime Scented Geranium Roundup

How do the three Limes compare? P. limoneum is the most heat tolerant of the three. P. 'Lime' and P. 'Pink Champagne' dislike those ultra high desert temperatures, however they can be grown successfully in the desert with a little extra shade and close attention to prevent excessive dryness. Tough little Limoneum will lose a few leaves if over dry, but is otherwise hardly effected. It can handle more exposure to direct sun than the other two.

The best bloomer of the Limes is Pink Champagne. In fact, it might be one of the nicest bloomers of all the Pelargoniums! Lime is a very good bloomer as well. Limoneum is cute with smaller hot pink flowers.

All three are well scented, although I think P.'Lime' is a bit stronger than the other two.

Effervescent Pink Champagne

Pink Champagne is a very pretty scented geranium. It forms a neat branched bush and will grow relatively tall. Large pink flowers and a fresh lime scent make this pelargonium a very rewarding choice.

Pink Champagne

No bubbles here, but you might think you are drunk when you see the size of these flowers. They are just enormous for a geranium - 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" across. The leaves are leathery on sturdy erect branches. P. 'Pink Champagne' is a lime scented geranium.
