Five fresh seeds from 2023, from hand-pollinated flowers.

Pelargonium graveolens is a scented Pelargonium from Southern and Eastern South Africa in summer rainfall regions. It is primarily a summer grower, but will continue to grow during winter with water. Called the rose-scented geranium, its attractive fuzzy divided leaves are strongly scented with a floral, minty scent. It is used in perfumes, and is one of the common species parents for scented geranium hybrids. During the summer, it will produce copious pink flowers. It is easy to grow in a variety of soil mixes, tolerant of both drought and frequent water. It prefers high light, or the stems will tend to get elongated, but it can be pruned as a bonsai subject. 

Sow seeds in spring with night temperatures in the 50-65 F range. The soil mix should be somewhat well-drained (perlite or pumice are good additives). Each seed is actually contained within a husk with a split down the side, and for best results, remove the seed itself by gently pushing on the ends of the husk and teasing the seed out. See: https://youtu.be/R-yMELF2pWc?t=486 for a demonstration. 

Seeds should have high viability under the right conditions and remain viable for several years, however, since I cannot control the techniques and growing conditions used, I cannot warranty the seeds. However, I try to provide instructions to maximize your success, and hope that these plants grow well for you!
