description for "Scented Geraniums: Pelargonium 'Little Gem'"
'Little Gem' rose geranium is not so little. Despite the name, this one can reach 24 inches tall. The leaves are deeply lobed and occasionally and irregularly variegated. It bears tiny, bicolor lavender flowers and a pungent rosy scent. Tender perennial. Overwinters outdoors in zones 8-10; should be potted and brought indoors in mid-autumn in colder climates. Plant in full sun. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
