    Love this interesting planter!

    What are the plants? I thought at first it was parsley, and then that it was mini geraniums (are there such things?!?)

  3. Rub the leaves and see if they have a heavenly smell, they might be scented geraniums. Or the ” Martha Washington ” type geraniums. If they start to trail later on then they are the vining type. I adore scented geraniums and collect them, but they are unpopular here and hard to find.

      Our garden stores have plenty of these different kinds of geraniums, vining, chocolate scented, etc. in a wide array of colors. They’re good for planters. I stick with the tried n’ true and already have one started in a planter … indoors. Maybe I should try one????

      • Ooh, yes the chocolate mint ones are the best, smell just like “Peppermint Patties”. I gave one to my gardening mentor, Eva, who was 80 at the time and she confessed it was her favorite plant of all. This spoken by a seasoned gardener with acres of vegetables , flowers and plants. All tended totally by herself alone. I bring a few choice scented geraniums indoors for the winter and they scent my house so sweetly, Lemon Rose is especially good for a natural ” air freshener”.
