Has totally disappeared! Too much humidity, not enough sun. To be honest, on this delivery almost all the plants decided to die... they had arrived in good shape though.

Description
The scented Pelargonium 'Lemon Fancy' is a lemon-scented shrubby geranium that stands out for its powerful lemony fragrance. It produces an abundance of pretty single flowers, light pink with a fuchsia centre, that appear to float above its beautiful evergreen foliage, which is finely cut. The plant forms a compact and upright bush. This variety is renowned for repelling mosquitoes, making it valuable for window sills and flower pots. Grow it in full sun, in well-drained soil. It can only be planted in the ground in our mildest regions, where it is not affected by frost.
The 'Lemon Fancy' Pelargonium is a variety dating back to 1979, originating from different botanical species endemic to the southwestern province of the Cape in South Africa. This perennial shrub belongs to the geranium family. Its upright and compact habit is supported by rigid, sturdy, sparsely branched stems, allowing the plant to reach a height of 60 cm (24in) with a spread of 40 cm (16in). The entire plant emits an intense fragrance reminiscent of citronella essential oil. Its highly ornamental foliage consists of small, round, medium green leaves that are thick, strongly veined, quite rigid, divided into 3 lobes, with serrated edges, and are 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) wide. The flowering, which is very abundant, takes place from June to September, with flowers consisting of 5 soft pink petals, the upper two of which are marked with fuchsia spots. The throat is burgundy red.
With just a gentle touch, the 'Lemon Fancy' Pelargonium releases a powerful fragrance that repels mosquitoes, while also displaying a delightful summer flowering. These are all reasons to adopt it in a pot on the windowsill. So plant it, in a pot or in the ground, in a place where you can...touch and admire it, along a pathway or in a large pot on the terrace or veranda. Lemon-scented geraniums are precious for perfuming a room, where they delight us with their sometimes unexpected and wonderful scents. One day after the rain, we stopped in front of a bed of fragrant geraniums and immersed ourselves in a symphony of delicate fragrances. In mild climates, this is a plant that can withstand summer drought and requires very little maintenance, making it valuable for dry gardens, by the seaside.
Try flavouring a recipe with lemon-scented pelargonium flowers, it works! The edible leaves are used in fruit salads and potpourri.

Planting and care
Plant your seedlings in the open ground after the last frosts, in a sunny position. You can also plant them in pots in a sheltered location, which you can then take outdoors in May. If you plant them in the open ground, wait until the frosts have passed. Fragrant geraniums require well-drained soil, but not necessarily very rich soil. Water moderately. In pots, regular watering is necessary in summer. You can protect your geraniums by bringing them indoors, under a veranda or in a cold greenhouse or bright, unheated room in winter.
They can tolerate a slight frost (-3/-4°C (26.6/24.8°F)), but will not survive the winter in the garden, except by the seaside. The 'Variegatum' variety withstands drought well and is sensitive to overly wet soils.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
