Scented Pelargonium Book Review

A resource guide for beginners and advanced growers that want to grow or know more about scented pelargoniums.

This large print paperback about “Scented Pelargoniums Species” has vivid images and descriptions of this species. It covers various cultivars and hybrid species within the Geraniaceae family, detailing the history of pelargoniums, their natural habitats, pests, diseases, and best practices for growing these aromatic plants.

For example, Pelargonium tomentosum, known for its peppermint-scented leaves, is highlighted with details about its soft, velvety texture, flower characteristics, and growth habits. It further explores its uses in essential oils, and medicinal applications and discusses notable hybrids like the chocolate peppermint and Islington peppermint plants. There is a corresponding page with more in-depth information.

This resource is a guide for beginners and advanced growers, but it notably lacks a reference section for sourcing the information presented. “Scented Pelargonium Species, A Beginners Guide”, is 8 ½ x 11 with 239 pages self-published by Charis Estelle Olney.
