Nothing ruins a fun summer evening like mosquitoes, but the oil from crushed Bonnie Plants Citronella leaves may help chase away those pesky party crashers. Add a pretty pot of Citronella to a patio, and you'll have the perfect plant on hand to discourage mosquitoes. A citrus-scented geranium variety also known as Mosquito Plant, Citronella smells great when you brush its pretty, textured foliage. This tender perennial grows beautifully in its decorative container on balconies and bright porches. Add it near a gate or entryway where you can brush the fragrant leaves as you pass. Place a pot near the kids' play area so they can rub the leaves and release its lemony scent. Citronella makes a great addition in flower beds, too. Drought-tolerant and easy-to-grow, Citronella prefers part-sun and well-drained soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro Plant Food. Bonnie Plants live plant varieties are designed for your gardening success, whether they're disease resistant, heat tolerant, space savers, or produce abundant harvests.
