Appearance & origins
Geraniums are bushy plants with rounded, lobed, or serrated leaves that often have a velvety texture. Their flowers are five-petaled and come in a variety of colors, including pink, red, white, purple, and sometimes multicolored. The stems are green and slightly woody at the base. The plant emits a distinct, slightly citrusy fragrance.
Geraniums are native to South Africa but have been cultivated worldwide. They thrive in temperate climates and are commonly found in gardens, containers, and as houseplants.

Safety
Warnings: Geraniums are generally non-toxic to humans but may cause mild digestive upset if ingested in large quantities. They can be mildly toxic to pets, so keep them out of reach of cats and dogs.
