Scented geraniums are a group of plants that have an amazing range of different fragrances. They have lovely delicate flowers but it is the scented oils in their leaves that make them really special. When you touch or crush a leaf with your fingers and inhale the scent you’ll be able to smell peppermint, rose, pine, citrus or many other fragrances. Plant them next to where you walk or sit and every time you brush past them they will release their wonderful scent. Inhale the scent and concentrate on the fragrance for a calming but invigorating feeling.
