There was a time when I grew a dozen of the scented-leaveds. Now I have just two: Pelargonium 'True Rose' (pictured below) and P. 'Lemon Crispin.' In the kitchen, these two are useful for cocktails...a rose- or lemon-scented daiquiri, or a rose-scented iced-vodka. I've also made a rosey martini. You just boil the leaves in a sugar-syrup, and then add it to the other ingredients. Recipes are on the blog.

About bathing: A few leaves of 'True Rose ' tossed into the nighttime bath will almost always induce sleep. Well, they do the trick for me.
