About this Plant
Pelargonium ‘Quercifolium’ is a distinctive scented geranium prized for its deeply lobed, oak-shaped leaves and rich balsam fragrance. The aromatic foliage is slightly sticky to the touch and releases a strong, resinous scent when brushed or crushed.
This evergreen subshrub is drought, deer, and heat tolerant, making it a reliable choice for sunny gardens and containers. Soft pink flowers with mauve markings appear in spring and summer, adding ornamental interest above the textured foliage.
Well suited for window boxes, hanging baskets, pots, potpourri, and garden plantings, Pelargonium ‘Quercifolium’ thrives in full sun to part shade with moderate watering. Native to South Africa, it performs best in mild climates and should be protected from frost.
