Peppermint Geranium – Pelargonium tomentosum

Pelargonium tomentosum, Peppermint scented geranium, is a type of edible geranium with soft, felt-fuzzy leaves and tiny flowers when it blooms. The leaves are large and and release a wonderful mint aroma when ruffled or rubbed between your fingers. I planted this in my herb garden.

The peppermint scented geranium is a perennial plant and likes full sun, although does really well in my herb garden which gets some shade. Like all scented geraniums, it can be frost sensitive but does really well in my zone 9 garden.
