I'm not sure about the differences but I'm pretty sure this is not a Scented Geranium. In my experience the Scented Geraniums are perennials. I guess I need to do some research.
It is a bit confusing, this might help, from Wiki '
Gardeners and the horticultural trade often refer to true geraniums as "hardy geraniums", to distinguish them from the less hardy pelargoniums (generally grown as annuals in temperate climes), and most garden "geraniums" (without the 'hardy' appellation) are in fact pelargoniums (storksbills), as opposed to true geraniums (cranesbi'lls).
I am a bit confused between those two plants
