Rose of Attar Scented Geraniums July 20, 2014

These scented Geraniums are in a pot in the Medicine Garden.  Scented geraniums can be used in teas much like chamomile for soothing stress and anxiety.  They can be potted up and set in windowsills to keep insects away - their essential oils repel mosquitoes.  These varieties of geraniums will bloom like their close, more showy cousins, but they are grown for their wonderful scented leaves rather than their flowers.
