This variety is believed to be a hybrid between the apple-scented geranium (Pelargonium odoratissimum) and P. exstipulatum that first occurred in the Berlin Botanical Garden around 1793. It became available in North America by the early 19th century and Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon listed it among dozens of fragrant South African geraniums in his book American Gardener’s Calendar, 1806. Scented geraniums or rose geraniums were extremely popular during the Victorian Period for gardens and as a potted specimen in parlours. The nutmeg-scented geranium has a particularly intense and pungent scent and it's stems and branches become somewhat woody. During the 20th century this old hybrid has been offered under a number of cultivar names such as 'Cody', 'Logee', and 'Old Spice'.
