Scented Geranium 'Joanne's Spring Charm' is a real charmer in the garden! Wonderfully aromatic leaves are used as flavorings in teas and fruits, or infused in milk, sherbets, and ices. Chop leaves into butter for sandwiches and cake fillings or use them whole as a garnish. Just a brush of the foliage of 'Joanne's Spring Charm' will release their perfume. Great for containers on the patio or inside near a brightly lit window.
