Atomic Snowflake the showy scented pelargonium with heavenly scent

Atomic Snowflake Scented Pelargonium / Geranium flower

Spicy geranium 'Atomic Snowflake'  aka  Scented Pelargonium "Atomic Snowflake"  has a heavenly scent mix of rose, lemon-rose and pale eucalyptus flavors.

I like to touch Pelargonium's Atomic Snowflake slightly ruffled leaves with smooth leathery texture. The foliage is mid-green, rounded like the classic geranium shaped leaves, with yellow or cream variegation.

Atomic Snowflake grows quickly and need to be trimmed to maintain it a nice shape.

Scented Pelargonium / Geranium Atomic Snowflake bonsai I was pruning my plant with a formal upright shape and now it looks like a pelargonium bonsai. This three years old plant's trunk looks very promising  for a bonsai , and after two seasons of training,  her leaves had became already smaller. 


Atomic Snowflake makes a lot of attractive clusters of small, mauve flowers which are more fragrant than leaves. Looks like I'm not the only one who likes their lavender-pink blossom.  With their eye-catching florets like small bouquets on tall stems,  offers nectar in spring, summer and fall for hummingbirds, butterflies and bees and shines bright in sunlight.
