Description
Pelargonium ‘Crispum French Lace’ is a distinctive scented-leaved geranium cherished for its finely cut, lace-like foliage that emits a refreshing lemon-mint aroma when touched. Originating from the hybridization of Pelargonium crispum, a species native to South Africa, this cultivar features deeply serrated, crisped leaves with a delicate fragrance that makes it popular not only as an ornamental but also for culinary and aromatic uses. The compact, bushy plant typically reaches 12 to 18 inches in height and produces small, soft pink to lavender flowers that complement its vibrant foliage. Known for its drought tolerance and adaptability, ‘French Lace’ is well-suited for container gardening, herb gardens, and as a fragrant accent in mixed borders. Its unique scent profile and finely textured leaves have made it a favorite among gardeners seeking aromatic and visually appealing plants, and it has been celebrated in horticultural circles for its ornamental and sensory qualities.
