Making a singular spectacle

ONE of my favourite bedding plants is the scented-leaf pelargonium. These are large, glorious plants with delicate pink flowers and leaves that give off a heady smell of lemon or roses when crushed between the fingers.

We grow several and each autumn they are dug up and overwintered in the greenhouse. Over the years they have grown into large, handsome plants worthy of a central spot in a border or in a large pot of their own in an area where you sit and enjoy your garden. They are easy to propagate now via softwood cuttings, and you can find out how on page 6.
