Re: winners

Thanks Kitty, that's a good site. Logee's carries some good ones at times too.

I really like scented geraniums. I was hopeful to find some unusual ones this year. Alas, just the usual rose, rose-mint, and citronella available here.
My favorites so far are "Mabel Gray" orange scent, "Candy Dancer" Tutti fruiti with finely cut leaves, and an unnamed varigated cut leaf with a true peppermint scent. I was unable to overwinter these successfully.
I've found that some "scented" geraniums only vaguely resemble their named scents. The good ones, though, have a strong, true perfume.

Cathy, we carried some scented geraniums this season because of the award. Didn't sell many, but the things are growing like crazy in the pots. Will try again to move them at the August sale, and if still left I'll try selling them as houseplants at our bulb sale in Oct.

Our local herb society members are shaking their heads over the
selection of scented geraniums as herb of the year. They aren't
particularly attractive, though some do have interesting leaves. My
experience with them is limited, but for most I have smelled, linking
them to the plant whose scent they resembled was a stretch.

I am not sure what all the hype is about the PPY's. They are always
designed to be the old tried and true plants. What they need to
start is
the 'best new' varieties IMHO.


Of course, the major growers do a huge ad push for what they are
featuring this year, give the garden writers a free sample and hope
for
the best. (Which is good, since many of the GW will tell it like it is
about the plant in their garden) If the small mom and pop places don't
get that news early enough, they of course, are left out. Folks are
looking for 'that' plant, and missing some other great ones they are
featuring. Rumor has it - yet another weigela is getting the big ads
this coming spring...sigh.
