description for "Scented Geraniums: Pelargonium crispum 'Minor'"
'Minor' lemon geranium is the smallest of the lemon-scented geraniums. This one looks best when trimmed to a tidy globe about 8-10" tall. Same delightful lemon fragrance. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
