description for "Scented Geraniums: Pelargonium 'Lara Candy Dancer'"
'Lara Candy Dancer' will have your house and garden dancing. Just a brush of the deeply cut leaves will release the sweet fragrance that will have you twirling. Flowering intermittently throughout the summer, these are great for patio containers and kitchen windowsills alike. Originating in South Africa, explorers brought scented geraniums to Holland and Europe in 1632. They made it to America with the settlers and are enjoying a renewed interest with many gardeners. Enjoy the dance. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
