Re: [SHADEGARDENS] Scented Geranium

I have a Richter's catalog which lists 55 different varieties of scented
pelargoniium (geranium) seeds.  There are several different lemon-scented
varieties. The P.Citrosa is claimed to be the "mosquito fighter". It
supposedly repells them both indoors and out....however there has been some
controversy about this.
You may contact Richter's on the web at:

or email at: orderdesk@richters.com

I, too, love the scented geraniums. They are not hardy here in my zone, so
one year I kept them in the greenhouse for the duration of the winter. Not
only did I have geraniums ready to plant the following spring, but the
greenhouse was a delightfully scented, enjoyable place to be!
