Dried pelargonium

All the recipes I can find are for fresh pelargonium leaves. What do I do with dried pelargonium?

From OChef: "In general, you can substitute one teaspoon of dried herbs for one tablespoon of fresh herbs and vice-versa (which is a one-to-three ratio, by the way). But let taste be your guide.

Dried herbs start out with a stronger taste than fresh herbs, but lose their pungency as they age. So if your dried herbs are on the newer side, you might want to use a light hand, or add a bit more if the herb is older. When possible, use fresh ingredients to gain the most flavor."
