Prince of Orange is a naturally bushy scented Pelargonium. It has small round leaves that give off a really lovely fresh citrus orange scent. It produces a abundance of pale mauve, almost white, flowers.

Raised around 1820 and resurfacing in catalogues around 1880 it has been traced all around the world, looking great in pots and window boxes.  It has been known as P. citriodorum and renamed as Px citrosum - which becomes the hybrid group name for this and plants of a similar heritage. 

We planted up a few of these in a large pot (pictured) on the patio and it flowered all through the summer - with plenty of dead heading and feeding it looked amazing! 

 

By far our largest group of Pelargoniums in our collection - Scented-leaved Pelargoniums (Geraniums) are a delightful group of plants that boast attractive leaves infused with a captivating array of pleasant and intriguing scents.
