The Citronella Geranium Plant (also known as the Mosquito Plant) is a scented perennial that emits a citrus-like fragrance, making it a popular choice for natural insect deterrence. This evergreen plant blooms pink flowers when mature and grows in an upright bushy habit, reaching up to 24 inches tall and 12-18 inches wide. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moderately fertile, well-draining soil. While its scent may help create an uncomfortable environment for mosquitoes, crushing the leaves and rubbing the oil on your skin can provide additional protection.
