Pelargonium 'Fragrans Variegatum' is a charming, compact perennial with a bushy growth habit, boasting delicate, blush white flowers adorned with intricate pink veining, which are arranged in umbels above the plant's small, rounded leaves.
These leaves possess a subtle variegation, displaying attractive lime-green and mid-green markings. When gently rubbed, they release a pleasant, pungent aroma that can be described as a delightful blend of nutmeg and pine, making this pelargonium a must-have summer plant for pathway pots and patios.

Pot up your pelargoniums, but only place them outside in the garden after the risk of frost has passed. Remove the spent flowers as they fade, and keep them well fed using a dilute solution of a high-potash liquid fertiliser (Tomorite is ideal) at regular intervals.
If you want to keep them over the winter, move them to a frost free environment and avoid overwatering during the colder months. Pinch back tips of shoots in spring or early summer.
