There are many scented pelargoniums called "lemon-scented", but this variety can be easily distinguished by its rounded shape. It has typical pelargonium-leaf shape; somewhat blue in color. I have never seen a flowering specimen, probably due to virus problems. The foliage has a good, lemon scent, without any of the bitterness present in some other citrus-scented varieties.
