- Scented leaved varieties are available in several scents that amaze as you brush past or crush a leaf.
- The most common Geraniums are called ‘zonals’ because the leaves have distinctive patterns or zones of colour.
- Some Geraniums are selected just for the variegated leaf effects.
- Size varies from 2″ alpine varieties through Dwarf size to robust 18″ bedding plants covered in blossom.
