description for "Scented Geraniums: Pelargonium 'Old Spice'"
'Old Spice' doesn't smell like the men's aftershave lotion with which it shares its name, but it does have a distinctive scent all its own. A variety of nutmeg-scented geranium, 'Old Spice' is more fragrant and a lot spicier than other spice-scented geraniums. The plant produces lots of flowers and has soft, velvety leaves. Tender perennial. Overwinters outdoors in zones 8-10; should be potted and brought indoors in mid-autumn in colder climates. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
