Radula is a robust, tall and bushy plant, with lemon and rose-scented leaves deeply cut into narrow segments, and small pink flowers marked with purple. It has wonderfully spidery leaves which grow into a  lovely classic geranium shape, and along with its heavy scent it's a really attractive scented geranium to grow indoors. 
 
Pelargonium radens is one of the parent plants which hybridizes with P. capitatum to form the rose-scented pelargonium hybrid. This hybrid is one of several species that are used for essential oils. The cultivar, Rose, was thought to be derived from P. graveolens but it was later discovered that it originated from the hybrid between P. capitatum and P. radens. The components which give the characteristic rose scent to geranium oil (citronellol, geranoil, linalool and nerol) occur best in trace quantities in P. radens and P. graveolens.
 
 
Planted up in a 6" vintage terracotta flower pot with a really pretty patina, our English vintage claypots are all over 50 years old, many are 80 years and some are Edwardian and Victorian. We choose our little pots carefully avoiding any large cracks or chips but as they are well-loved by many generations of gardeners and many are handmade, some will have little quirks.  
 
We include really detailed growing instructions for geraniums and scented geraniums, along with  some ideas of how to use their leaves and decorate your home with these these timelessly classic potted plants. They're packed up carefully in compostable boxes packed with straw and shipped with an overnight courier service.  Our potted plants  make lovely gifts and come with a personalised gift card and the option of our Cambridge Imprints wrapping paper and velvet ribbon.
