Growing & using Skeleton Rose Scented Geranium
Skeleton Rose Scented Geranium with its bright green, finely cut leaves is, perhaps, the most elegant of all the scented geraniums. Erect and sturdy yet delicately cut, this highly fragrant Scented Geranium provides continual interest as a specimen or in a mixed border. Skeleton Rose Scented Geranium prefers sun but will grow in some shade. If it gets too leggy, then you know you have planted it in an area with too much shade. It could be pruned several times a year to keep it tidy. However, when grown in sun, it usually only needs pruning if it dies back or encroaches on its neighbors. Blooming off and on throughout the growing season, its lilac flowers are striking.
Skeleton Rose Scented Geranium can be grown in a container. Try planting one of our three-inch pots in a pot that holds at least 3 gallons of soil. Check in a year or so to make sure the roots have not filled your container.
Skeleton Rose Scented Geranium makes a great addition to our Zone 8-11 Fragrant Herb Garden Six Pack.
