Confusingly known as geraniums, pelargoniums are in the same plant family as hardy geraniums, but fall into a different genus and bear no resemblance to them at all. They are normally grown as annual bedding plants although they can be overwintered indoors, and are prized for their bright summer flowers and attractive, often fragrant, foliage.

Pelargoniums come in a variety of forms, and most belong to one of the following six horticultural groups: Angel, Ivy-leaved, Regal, Scented-leaved, Unique and Zonal. All thrive in full sun and do best when grown in a sheltered, sunny spot.

Pelargonium 'Shottesham Pet' is a Scented-leaf pelargonium with a compact habit and neat, pyramid shape. Its mid-green leaves have a spicy aroma, and contrast beautifully with the small, deep pink flowers. It is an excellent choice for pots on a sunny patio, but also makes a good house plant.
