A spreading, bushy shrub growing to 100 cm or more, tall and wide. With very fragrant, large, tough palmate leaves that are strongly lemon-scented. Large pale pink flowers with dark pink markings in spring and summer are an attractive addition, but the foliage is the main feature.

It can also be grown as a culinary herb or to flavour puddings. Although the foliage is fragrant all the time, it is during the warmer weather that you'll notice it, because the citronella (lemon-scented chemical in the leaf) is volatile at high temperatures. This plant can be used as a companion plant to repel pests, as the lemon scent has natural insecticidal properties. The leaves can also be used in pot-pourri and finger bowls.

It is an easy plant and quite undemanding in the garden. Happy in sun or shade. However, it is more difficult than most other Pelargoniums to propagate from cuttings.
