Description
Pelargonium 'Prince of Orange' is highly appreciated for the pronounced orange aroma contained in its foliage. It is a small bush with beautiful palmate and deeply cut leaves that are leathery and highly scented. It releases a beautiful aroma with the slightest touch. It blooms from June to September, bearing pale-mauve flowers finely streaked with purple-violet in the throat. It is perfect for flavouring jams, jellies, syrups, and teas. Grow it in full sun, in well-drained soil, as it fears excess water. Protect your pot from frost in winter, in a bright and cool room.
Pelargonium 'Prince of Orange' comes from a botanical species native to South Africa. It is a woody and perennial shrub with a rounded habit, sensitive to frost but resistant to drought. It belongs to the Geraniaceae family. When grown in a pot, this variety reaches about 30 to 35cm (12 to 14in) in height and 45cm (18in) in width. The entire plant emits a very pleasant smell similar to orange essence. Its ornamental foliage is composed of small rounded leaves, divided into 5 lobes, with strongly toothed edges, 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) wide. Their colour is a bright green with a slight shine. Flowering occurs from June to September, in the form of small flowers with 5 pale mauve petals marked with fine purplish lines in the throat. They measure about 3.5cm (1in) in diameter. The foliage of scented geraniums persists throughout the year above freezing temperatures.
With a simple touch, Pelargonium 'Prince of Orange' releases a delicious scent, appealing to the gourmet and repelling mosquitoes. Plant it in a pot or in the ground in a place where you can touch it and pick its leaves as needed. It will look wonderful on a patio or in a conservatory. Scented geraniums are perfect for perfuming a room, where they delight us with their sometimes unexpected and wonderful fragrances. After rainfall one day, we came across a bed of scented geraniums and spent a long time immersing ourselves in a symphony of delicate scents. It is one of our favourites, as you may have guessed! In mild climates, it perfectly withstands summer drought and requires very little maintenance, making it valuable for dry gardens, by the seaside.
Its leaves are used in perfumery to extract an aromatic essence. The edible leaves are used in fruit salads and desserts. They are also used in potpourri.

Planting and care
Plant in open ground after the last frosts. Choose a sunny location to promote flowering. You can also plant them in pots placed in a sheltered location, which you can bring out in May. Scented geraniums require well-drained soil, but not necessarily very rich. They will tolerate slightly chalky soil. Water moderately. In pots, regular watering is necessary in summer. You can keep your plants by bringing them indoors under a veranda or a cold greenhouse in winter. They can withstand temperatures of around -3°C (26.6°F), but they will not survive winter in the garden, except by the seaside.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
