Carl Linnaeus misidentified a South African bloom as a Geranium in 1753. Though reclassified as Pelargonium, that flower is still called a geranium.

Charles Dickens, a famous 19th-century author, sported crimson pelargoniums on his jacket. For early blooming, grow garden pansies.
Geranium leaf oils were employed by perfumers before labs. At least 30 Pelargonium species are fragrant. Find rose, citrous, and mint smells.

However, if you'd like, you can grow them indoors in a sunny place! For optimal effects, keep the temperature in your home between 60 and 65 degrees.
