    I've been searching for a specific ident. for this Pelargonium spp for a while, but I am still not sure which one it is. It seems to be happily perennial in my climate.

    Hi Stephen,
    I'm not at home now but when I go back later on I'll have a look in my Pelargonium book for you.

    PS... It does ring a bell.

    Hi Stephen

    Looks like the scented one I've had growing here for years.

    Just about to go out for 4th of July but will visit here again later.

    Hi Stephen,

    If I were you I would check out P. Capitatum. This one is more likely to prove hardy in sheltered areas of the UK. It is a shrub that can grow 3' plus, and doesn't actually mind the rainfall we have here unlike a lot if Pelargoniums.

    P. Graveolens is a possibility, although your flowers look a little too dark to me.
    Also P. Graveolens ( along with P. Crispum ) is the parent of most of the Lemon scented cultivars, so have a good sniff of the leaves.

    Hope this helps :)
