Where do scented geraniums grow best?

The leaves unfurl in a variety of green, blue-green and variegated shades. Give plants fertile, well-drained soil, and a spot in full sun. In Southern locales, provide protection from strong afternoon sun. Scented geraniums grow best when temperatures are in the 55° to 70°F range.

Can you plant scented geraniums outside?

Outdoors your Scent Geranium may be planted directly in the garden, in borders, raised planters, hanging baskets or in containers during frost free months. Be careful with frost, your Scent Geranium will not survive it!
