Islington Peppermint - Peppermint Scented Leaf Pelargonium (Geranium) Plant - 6cm

Islington Peppermint makes for a really interesting specimen plant an is from a cross between P. tomentosum and P. 'Splendide'.  It has soft green leaves with a distinct peppermint fragrance and produces small but stunning flowers.  

Islington Peppermint can be a bit of a challenge to grow and propagate, we often find some years we can grow it in abundance and some years we struggle to keep the mother plants alive!! 

Introduced by a Dutch nursery around 1991 this was raised by Diana Hull around 1980 and registered with the British Pelargonium and Geranium Society (now The Pelargonium and Geranium Society, PAGS).
