Of Interest: During the 1600''''s, Dutch sailors transported geraniums to Europe from Africa, which gardeners then planted to help ensure that no evil spirits would enter their homes. The Colonial Americans used geranium leaves to line baking pans to impart a delicate rose flavor to their cakes. There are approximately 700 varieties of geranium, only about 10 of which supply essential oil. Harvesting just as the leaves turn yellow captures the unique rose-like aroma; pervious to this, the aroma is lemonier.
