    Everybody should have Apple Scented Geranium. It's an absolutely delightful plant. Nice growth habit, well suited to pot culture. It does reseed. With one pot of this is in my nursery area, it self-sows into the other pots, which is a gift since it is such a wonderful plant.The scent is amazing.
