Scented Geranium “Peppermint” is a wonderfully fragrant herb grown for its strong minty‑peppermint scented foliage that fills the garden with fresh aroma whenever brushed or touched. Although botanical identification for many scented geraniums is uncertain, plants sold under common names like “Peppermint” typically belong to Pelargonium species or hybrids, often with heritage from Pelargonium tomentosum and related scented types. Pelargoniums are widely recognised as aromatic foliage plants, not true geraniums, and are valued for their scent and versatility.
This variety tends to form a broad, low‑growing perennial, working beautifully in herb gardens, as a groundcover, in containers, and shaded or semi‑shaded beds where its fragrant leaves can be enjoyed up close. It is very tolerant of partial shade. I grew this plant in Katoomba and can confirm that it copes with frost down to around -5, provided it is sheltered by a tree.
Scented geranium leaves are edible and traditionally used to add flavour and fragrance to herbal teas, desserts, and sweet treats. Their compelling minty aroma also makes them perfect for pot‑pourri, fragrant sachets, and herbal incense blends, adding natural fragrance to home and garden settings.
There are hundreds of hybrids and unnamed clones of the genus Pelargonium. Many have been circulated in herb gardens for decades without confirmed species identification. I aquired this species as Pelargonium tomentosum, but it might be a hybrid derived from Pelargonium tomentosum, though exact parentage is unknown.
