Notes

'Lady Plymouth' geranium (Pelargonium graveolens 'Lady Plymouth') is a perennial for borders and containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It has fragrant evergreen leaves and blooms from early to late summer. It also tolerates drought, so it needs little care.

Pairs well with Lemon grass, Mexican heather, and Bay tree.
