It flowers from summer until the fall.

The Sweet Mimosa Scented Geranium develops a compact and upright form. Originally from South Africa, it is no surprise that this pelargonium is tender and needs protection from the cold. You can bring it indoors over the winter or place it in a conservatory. This geranium is also resistant to deer and tolerant of dry conditions.
