Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Snowy nutmeg, Shottesham pet, and gray lady Plymouth are three enchanting scented geraniums among an ever increasing number of available cultivars. This handbook is a comprehensive guide to growing a wide variety of these tender plants, known more precisely as pelargoniums. Necessary cultural advice is presented, along with information on propagating plants to enhance home interiors or to contribute splendid fragrance to summer gardens and frost-free climates year round. Although horticultural basics are clearly explained for beginning gardeners, plenty of in-depth material is aimed at accomplished gardeners. Includes landscaping and pruning tips, recipes, and a listing of highly recommended varieties and sources where they may be purchased. Alice Joyce
