Hi all, I bought this lovely Geranium which has a beautiful soft citrusy smell.
It was labelled Geranium Madarense but I have my doubts about this after some research.
Could anyone clarify it?
I'd say not, unless there's something wrong with it. The leaves shouldn't be curly edged like that. It looks more like a pelagonium.
I bought it as a Pelargonium because thats what I was shopping for.
I know the names always get mixed up so I didnt think anything of it.
There was just a little white label with that name on it when I bought it.
It is a beautiful smell though, I wish I knew exactly what it was :P
I wondered if there was a pelagonium called maderense but I had a look and didn't find anything.

They were all labelled with it at the garden centre so I guess they dont even know themselves what they are growing! lol
They had big bushes of their own which I guess they had taken the cuttings from.
Im going to do some more browsing of the internet for it.
grrrr They all look too much alike, I can see some flower buds forming on the plant so I might try again when it starts to flower.
I hope you find it's something you like
looks like pelargonium crispum. great scent and pale pink flowers. easy from cuttings.
You could be right there David, it pretty much matches what I have
Update on the plant.
Found out what it is. Its Pelargonium Citrosum
