You haven't been very specific about the information your require, ie is it to do with health, growing, climate etc.





Health - A Pelargonium (geranium) from South Africa with Dark Red Flowers known as :





Umckaloabo. Helps loosen mucous but more important it strengthens the immune system against bacteria and viruses. The bodies own defence mechanisms are stimulated (increase in the bodies own interferon(against viruses)and also an increase in killer cell production to fight the baddies).

Geranium leaves can be scented or unscented - just search on line for information on the Geranium leaf.





In the UK a Geranium plant is hardy and is a perennial.


Pelargonium also referred to as Geranium because it has almost identical leaf to the Geranium is of the same family but is in fact tender and will not survive frost.

Reply:The geraniums are grown for the scent


of their leaves as opposed to their flowers. Native


to the Cape of Good Hope, they were first


introduced into Europe in the early 1600s.


They have glands in the leaves in which essential oils are stored.


These essential oils are used in Aromatherapy.


The leaves are compound and can show divergent palmately retuculate venation(arrangement of viens on the leaf in the form of palm, reticulate because network like arrangement of veins and veinlets)


The leaf form is highly variable and the leaf texture can be smooth, velvety or even sticky. It is the back of the leaf that releases the scent for which each geranium is known and named.
