FREE: Mint Scented Geranium--Three (3) Cuttings

The listing, Mint Scented Geranium--Three (3) Cuttings has ended.

My favorite part of growing geraniums is after a few years they get too leggy, so I clip off the tops of the branches. I stick the tops in the ground in other places in the garden and they root easily! Since it is that time of the year to top mine, I thought I would share a few of the cuttings with my fellow gardening Listians! The winner will receive 3 cuttings that are about 4 inches tall. I will wrap the cut end in moist paper towels and plastic wrap so it stays damp.
I will also include a small plastic baggy with rooting hormone powder in it. All you need to do is dip the cut end of the cutting in the rooting hormone and stick it in some soil, either in a pot or in the ground.
Mint Scented Geranium, Pelargonium tomentosum, is a fabulous plant for the dry shade garden. The Peppermint Scented Geranium has very fragrant foliage, is quite drought tolerant and covers a goodly section of the ground. Pelargonium tomentosum grows a foot or two tall but will ramble 10 feet or more. Pelargonium tomentosum will tolerate moderate water if there is adequate drainage. The fuzzy velvety leaves can be used as a culinary herb. Pelargonium tomentosum is Winter hardy when temperatures dip into the high 20's for short durations but will suffer significant foliage damage once temperatures hit freezing.
