Soil conditions should be slightly acidic and well drained.
Geraniums grow nicely in patio containers and planters. Make sure you use a soil mixture that drains well (soil and peat moss or perlite) and do not over water. It is important to keep your plant in a container that is large enough to support growth or you will find the plant will wilt and look unhealthy.
Geraniums can be nice to have indoors to brighten up a dull winter. Make sure you put them in a very sunny spot and use a well drained potting mix. Optimum temperatures for these plants is 65 degrees in the day and 55 at night.
Make sure you check the Lemon Scented for signs of pests and diseases

The wild geranium is a favorite in a country garden and forms large clumps 12 to 24 inches in height.
Geranium incanum can be used very effectively on banks or as a colourful border plant.
They can be grown as a bedding, in containers or a hanging plant.
The geranium grows wild in low grounds and open woods from Newfoundland to Manitoba and south to Georgia and Missouri.
Geranium multisectum is a lovely, soft herbaceous perennial.
Serious diseases of geranium, especially bacterial blight, southern wilt, Pseudomonas leaf spot, and rust, can arrive at your greenhouse on cuttings.
They are fairly hardy, although not disease free and you must want their leaves carefully.
