During your trips to local nuseries has anyone seen scented geraniums?

The only one I have been able to find locally was at target and it was a citrus/fruity scented one with deeply cut leaves.

Thanks.

Hi! I live in Lantana, FL, and have not seen one scented geranium *anywhere*, locally. I recommend ordering online from www.papagenos.com. I order from them every year it seems and they have an awesome selection. I've found scented geraniums on their website that I've never even heard of. Sometimes, in order to find the unusual stuff you have to order through catalog or online. Try them, you won't be disappointed. They're now shipping for spring season so you won't have to wait for months like I did when I ordered in January....The wait is always worth it, though! ;-D

You're very welcome! I just received this year's order today! Papageno's ships 3 day air and everything arrived in good shape. They're in deep 2 1/2" pots and the roots look terrific! I snipped off yellowed leaves, which are typical with geraniums sent mailorder in my experience, watered, and they're "resting" until Saturday morning when I pot them up into glazed clay. Some of them might look well pruned for the trip, but they respond well to pruning anytime. I get clipperitis often with my scented geraniums and they bush out nicely. I also ordered a large pot cardamom ginger and bay laurel and they're in great shape too! My favorite purchase this year was an ionidflorum which makes a lovely trailer in a hanging basket. They're hard to find. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. ;-D
