The beautifully-scented Pelargonium geraniums are native to the high, dry desert of South Africa. With minimal rainfall, low humidity, and far from the equator, they flourish there and in many Mediterranian climates around the world. Mine struggled but survived their first summer (2014) in Miami, and they are flourishing now, and their perfume is divine. In Miami, we have hot, humid summers and we’re close to the Equator. I babied the various scented geraniums, and about 50% of them survived. The Attar of Roses variety, Pelargonium captiatum is thriving, and I intend to harvest the leaves for distilling in late Spring. The deeper pink venation on the two upper petals is a sure sign of Attar of Roses scented geranium 3 Comments Michelle Martin on February 5, 2015 a
