Lemon Mosquito Repelling Grass

Lemongrass is one of those plants that earns its keep.

Brush past it on a warm evening and the air turns bright and citrusy, like someone zested a lemon into the breeze. 🌿🍋 And that fresh scent is not just pleasant. Mosquitoes are not fans. Lemongrass contains natural citronella oils that help repel them, especially when planted around patios and porches.

It is also easy on the eyes. Tall, arching blades create a soft fountain shape that looks beautiful in pots. Set one by the front door or anchor a sunny container and it instantly feels lush and tropical.

It loves full sun, thrives in heat, and grows quickly in our climate. Pretty, practical, and hardworking. Lemongrass shows up, smells amazing, and quietly helps keep the bugs in check.
