The Pelargonium Paton's Unique is a variety of geranium with a unique scent, known for its foliage that releases a beautiful spicy fragrance with the slightest touch, as well as its spectacular flowering, with large clusters of small flowers in a vibrant neon pink lacquered with light red. This large flowering bush blooms from June to September and offers an exceptional sight in mild climates. It remains interesting even in frost-free winters due to its evergreen foliage. Pelargoniums are bred from plants that thrive in difficult climates and soils, but are somewhat sensitive to cold. They are naturally resistant to summer drought, but need to be brought indoors in a cold greenhouse in regions with cold winters.
The fragrant Pelargonium 'Paton's Unique' is an old horticultural hybrid introduced in the 1890s. It is probably the result of cross-breeding different botanical species, which have given it its fragrant foliage and almost shrub-like habit, along with florist geraniums, responsible for its beautiful and long-lasting flowering. All geraniums are plants native to South Africa, particularly well adapted to hot and dry climates, accommodating in terms of soil, but sensitive to frost. 'Paton's Unique' is a magnificent cultivar, both aromatic and floriferous from June to September. The plant has a rounded bushy habit, almost as wide as it is tall, with branched stems that lignify over time. This variety will reach a height of 1m (3ft) in one season (in fertile and moist soil) with a spread of 80cm (32in). Its dark green foliage is composed of stiff leaves, divided into 5 large lobes, with more or less triangular toothed edges. They are loaded with essential oils responsible for their pungent fragrance. When exposed to cold, these leaves can turn red or orange. The flowering takes place from June-July to September, in the form of small umbels carrying 4 to 9 pink flowers, lighter in the centre, with each petal marked with a coral pink-red spot. The upper 2 petals are veined with violet or burgundy.Â
With a simple touch, the Pelargonium 'Paton's Unique' releases a powerful fragrance and at the slightest glance it encourages passers-by to touch its foliage and lean in to admire its delightful flowers. So, plant it in a pot or in the ground, in a place where you can touch it, along a pathway or in a pot on the terrace or veranda. Fragrant geraniums are precious for perfuming a room, where they delight us with their sometimes unexpected and wonderful scents. We were stopped in our tracks, one day after rain, in front of a bed of fragrant geraniums and immersed ourselves in a small symphony of delicate perfumes. In mild climates, this is a plant that is quite resistant to summer drought and requires very little maintenance, making it valuable for dry gardens where it blends well with different plants from the scrubland. Beware, the "pelargomania" virus is contagious, especially when you are lucky enough to live in a region with mild winters: when planted in the ground, a small potted plant becomes a true bush, sometimes exceeding 1m (3ft) in all directions! Solid, robust, almost indestructible, fragrant geraniums repel insects and are capable of regrowing from the stump after experiencing temperatures as low as -5°C (23°F)!
Try adding the fragrance of the fragrant pelargonium flower to a recipe, it works! The edible leaves are used in fruit salads and potpourri.

Botanical data
Plant your geraniums in the ground after the last frost, in a warm and sunny location. Mild Mediterranean and oceanic climates allow them to be planted in the ground in a sheltered location (for example, along a south-facing wall) throughout the year: once established, this fast-growing plant can withstand short frosts of around -5°C (23°F). You can also plant them in pots placed in a protected location, which you can take outside in May. If you plant them in the ground, wait until the frost has passed. Fragrant geraniums require well-drained soil, but not necessarily very rich or very moist soil. Water moderately, once a week or once every two weeks in hot and dry climates, which is generally sufficient (in a Mediterranean climate, slightly inland, some of our tall botanical pelargoniums can go all summer with almost no water!). In pots, regular watering is necessary in summer. You can keep your geraniums by bringing them indoors under a veranda or in a cold greenhouse in winter, or even in the house, in a well-lit and not too heated room.
Pelargoniums are very hardy plants that repel insects due to their aromatic foliage and are rarely affected by diseases under good growing conditions and in suitable climates.
They can be easily propagated by cuttings in summer. The cuttings should be protected from the cold during the first winter, in a bright room.

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).
