Kalanchoe Silver Spoons

Pelargonium tomentosum — often called peppermint-scented pelargonium — is a charming, soft-leaved plant grown as much for its fragrance as its looks. Its velvety, heart-shaped leaves release a fresh peppermint scent when touched, making it a delight along pathways, patios, or anywhere you can brush past it.

In season, delicate white flowers with subtle markings rise above the foliage, adding gentle beauty without overpowering the plant’s main attraction — its scented leaves. Its spreading, slightly trailing habit makes it ideal for pots, hanging baskets, or as a soft groundcover in sheltered garden spots.

This pelargonium prefers bright light or partial shade and well-drained soil. It is easy to care for, forgiving of occasional neglect, and benefits from light trimming to keep it compact and bushy.

Perfect for both new gardeners wanting a rewarding, low-fuss plant and seasoned growers who appreciate sensory garden plants, peppermint pelargonium adds texture, fragrance, and charm wherever it grows.
