Geranium, Scented “Attar of Roses” (Pelargonium capitatum) potted plant, organic
$10.00 – $28.50
Family: Geranium (Geraniaceae)
Hardy to zone 10 to 12, often grown as a summer annual or a potted plant brought in for the winter. Protect from frost.
(Rose scented geranium, rose otto, rose attar, rose of attar) This plant exudes sensual and calming fragrance. I have read many descriptions of the aromatherapeutic properties of this type of scented geranium, and they differ according to source, so provide here my own experience: Attar of Roses opens the heart chakra and calms the spirit. A highly desired plant which in our opinion rests at the pinnacle of all scented geranium varieties. Easily grown in potted culture, a good plant blooms all summer long. Sun to part shade. Fertilize with your good compost and since it’s a heavy magnesium feeder, pour in a little epsom salt soak water from time to time. This will green it up. Space plants 2 feet apart.
Potted plant certified organically grown

I have Rose Scented Geranium in my garden as a container plant. I water my plants every morning and it’s one of my rituals to gently feel the leaves and let the wonderful aroma sink into the senses as I attend to the plants. It’s a great addition to a scented garden.

Hi. I have these attar geraniums but they didn’t flower yet. Should the leaves have any scent at all? I cannot smell anything from the leaves. Appreciate your help.

Hello Lia, The leaves are deeply rose-scented. the flowers are very nice, but it is the leaves, mainly, that smell so nicely. Richo

Can I make tea with the leaves/flowers?

Hi Carolina, Usually this is used in small quantities mixed with other ingredients, as a flavoring agent, not a primary. You can put a few dried petals or leaves in with your tulsi tea, for instance. richo
