Catharine: I've had good luck with scented geraniums in a HOT dry spot - my
deck! Afternoon sun (hot in summer). Don't water it much. They don't like
it. I've had nutmeg - loved it. Also like Old Spice. Don't bother with rose
- doesn't smell like a rose! They aren't worth much for flowers - but will
perfume the air wherever you put it. Remember - hot and dry and sunny.
