Scented Geraniums  - Pelargonium.  Not an actual true geranium, but the
Pelargoniums are the ones you always see on porches with the vivid
colors.

There are many lemon scented ones such as P.  crispum 'Cinnamon',  P.
crispum 'Minor',  P. 'Frensham', P. x asperum, P. citronellum 'Mabel
Grey',  P. crispum 'Prince Rupert', P. radens, to name a few.

The leaves release their scent whenever they are brushed against, or
even when a slight breeze moves them. One of my favorite plants!

A good source for either seed or plant:   www.richters.com

The seeds are slow and erratic to germinate.
