Pelargonium capitatum
:Introduction
Pelargonium capitatum, along with related species such as Pelargonium graveolens, is commonly referred to as rose geranium or rose-scented pelargonium. These common names arise from the characteristic fragrance of the essential oils produced by the plant’s glandular tissues rather than from the flowers, which possess little to no noticeable scent.
: Details
Pelargonium capitatum is a low-growing shrub that typically reaches up to approximately 100 cm in height and can spread to about 1.5 m in width. Its stems are soft and densely covered with green glandular hairs, and physical contact with the plant readily releases a strong aroma as essential oils are emitted from the ruptured glandular tissues.
