You can see them everywhere in spring and you can smell their beautiful, powerful fragrance in the breeze!  It is a shrub but in nurseries you can find so called ‘standard’ (tree form) for small garden.  Best in full sun location.  Very hardy and easy to propagate from green wood cutting or seeds.

With good care, it can flower twice in a year!  Once in spring and once in fall.

春天到處可見可聞到乘風而來的芬芳花香!  它是灌木或苗圃會訓練它做成樹型,很適合小花園.  全日照為佳.  非常強健也很容易扦插新枝條或種子繁殖.  照顧的好可一年開春秋各一次花.

Here is the my backyard now … through geranium you can see still all icy and snow bank pile up pretty high.

If you have space by the window, that keeping few geraniums, Dahlia and Amaryllis for winter colour indoor is pretty good idea. If you don’t have those then you could start some annual seeds indoors. It only takes 1.5 – 2 months from seed to flower!
