This summer, help drive back the blood-sucking mosquito armies with a simple, decorative plant on your outdoor deck or patio. When you rub or crush the green and yellow leaves of the Mosquito Plant, it releases a citronella scent that acts as a powerful, natural insect repellant. This easy to grow plant reaches heights of 24" tall and comes pre-potted in a 5" ceramic glazed pot. Although it's not as entertaining as watching flying insect pests meet their fiery demise in a bug zapper, the pleasant, natural fragrance of the citronella is much more relaxing on a warm, summer evening outdoors.
