Description
The Pelargonium 'Cola Bottles' develops foliage with an astonishing and realistic Cola scent. It more precisely evokes a reminiscence of Cola bottle-shaped sweetss. It is a fragrant geranium with dark green, trilobed, undulate, and dentate leaves. In summer, light pink flowers bloom, two petals veined with purple. Over time, the plant forms a small, evergreen bush with a very upright habit, and its scent is perceptible with the slightest touch. It blooms from June to September. Grow it in full sun, in well-drained soil, as it is sensitive to excess water. Growing it in the ground is only possible in mild climates, spared from frost.
The Pelargonium 'Cola Bottles' belongs to the geranium family. It is a variety resulting from the hybrid Pelargonium x nervosum, itself descended from the botanical species Pelargonium crispum. 'Cola Bottles' is a woody and perennial bush with a rounded habit, sensitive to frost but resistant to water scarcity. Its habit is supported by stiff, strong, and minimally branched stems, allowing the plant to reach about 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) height with a spread of 50 cm (20in). The entire plant emits a very pleasant scent, evoking Cola. Its foliage consists of small, round leaves divided into 3 lobes, undulate, with serrated edges, and villous. Their colour is dark green. Flowering occurs from June to September, with clustered flowers counting 5 pale pink petals, two veined with purple.
Plant the Pelargonium 'Cola Bottles' in a pot or in the ground, where you can touch and admire it, along a pathway or in a large pot, on the terrace or in the conservatory. Scented geraniums are precious for perfuming a room, where they delight us with their sometimes unexpected and wonderful scents. In very mild climates, it is a plant that perfectly withstands summer drought and requires very little maintenance, making it valuable for dry gardens by the seaside.
The plant's leaves are often used in perfumery to extract an aromatic essence, while in England, the flowers are picked to add flavour to jellies. You can also try using scented pelargonium flowers to add flavour to your recipes. The leaves are also edible and can be used in fruit salads and potpourri.

Planting and care
Plant your Pelargonium in the open ground after the last frosts, in a very sunny position to accentuate the colours of the foliage and encourage flowering. You can also plant them in a pot in a protected spot, which you will take out in May. If you plant them in the ground, wait until after the frosts. Fragrant geraniums need well-drained, but not necessarily very rich, or even slightly chalky soil. Water sparingly. In pots, regular watering is necessary in summer. You can keep your geraniums by putting them in a cold conservatory or greenhouse in winter. They can withstand a light frost (-3/-4°C), but will not overwinter in the garden, except by the sea.

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.
