Hello, I am also looking for scented geraniums. I am new to Gardenweb, live near Collinsville, Al.(north of Gadsden, Al.) Would be interested in where to obtain cuttings or plants. Thankx, H.Bates

I don't have any scented gereniums but am anxious to get started with them. I have some things that hopefully might interest you, I have small rooted Hardy Chrysanthemums, Kalanchoe Mother of Millions and Mother of Thousands babies, the Mother of Millions are about 3" high and 3 inches across. the Mother of Thousands I only have one to trade, it is about the same size. I have a sedum Mexican Bean that I can send you a rooted start, I purchased a 3" rooted pot off eBay and the start will be about 3 or 4" long. I have an abundance of seeds but looked at your list and see that you are coverd up in seeds. I am a Gold Trader on PlantSwap. I hope you will consider trading with me.

One sported on a rober's lemon rose here too. Maybe it's a sporty type. The bulk grower for local greenhouses, has variatons of varieties, that aren't as good as the ones at the top suppliers. It may not be a best example of a rober's lemon rose. It rooted easily, stuck back into mama's pot.

Jean, you called!!! Moonsparkz....you needn't cut back your geraniums --until you are ready to bring them back in February. Before storing them, just shake off any loose soil and if they are damp from recent watering, just let them dry out a bit before hanging them up. In the their hang-up stage, don't bring them into contact with water---they are not growing--so why water them, don't give them light---again, they are not growing, so why the light---and try to keep them undisturbed..alone, dry and cool. About mid February, bring them out, now cut them back..as you prefer..1/4, 1/3...1/2...fresh potting soil, shards in bottom of pot for good drainage, well watered and good sun. Fertilize only when new growth is apparent...then at 1/2 rate 20/20/20....when budding begins, you can then change to 15/30/15. About 6 weeks --new foliage will come on...another 6 weeks you might see the start of new bloom....but don't despair if the blooming is delayed...just put them out into that bright spring sunshine when you put out your other annuals. They'll bloom OK. If you have any doubts about this method, do take some cuttings and try the methods described. If you are successful with both, you then have something to compare.
