Citronella Mosquito Repelling Geranium

Citronella geranium is the plant that smells like summer and feels like a front porch at dusk. 🌿

Brush the leaves with your hand and you release that bright, lemony scent people love and mosquitoes tend to avoid. It contains fragrant oils similar to citronella, which can help discourage mosquitoes when placed around patios and seating areas. It is not a force field, but it is a beautiful first line of defense.

And unlike a candle that burns out, this one keeps growing.

With its lacy green leaves and soft texture, citronella geranium looks right at home in pots by the door, on the deck, or tucked into a sunny flower bed. It thrives in full sun to part sun and appreciates good drainage, especially in containers.

There is something satisfying about stepping outside, brushing the leaves, and letting that clean citrus scent rise into the air. Pretty, practical, and porch approved. 🍋🌞
