A scented geranium with gorgeous crinkled foliage, the mosquito plant perfumes the patio with a refreshing citrus aroma. Valued for both its ornamental appeal and practical uses, its foliage can be crushed and rubbed on the skin to keep mosquitoes at bay. Mosquito plants are excellent for planting in decorative containers on the patio or by the doorway, or for framing a path where the fragrance can be enjoyed by all. As the weather cools in fall, simply move the plant indoors and enjoy its beauty and fragrance in your home all winter long.
