Pelargonium capitatum was one of the scented geraniums that were greatly admired by the Victorians who included them in bouquets, potpourri, flavouring deserts and also in jellies & cakes. It has delicate soft rose-scented ovate crinkled leaves which soften the skin when applied to the hands and is great for hardened skin and scratches. The flowers are purple-pink with darker markings, arranged in an inflorescence of about 10-20 flowers which attract honey bees. It originates from South Africa in sandy areas where it grows to a low shrub about 100 cm in height, ideal for pots, planted in the garden or a meadow habitat.
