Key features

• •Water citronella plants in containers when the top inch or so of soil has dried out. Keep in-ground plants well watered, especially in the hotter months, to ensure abundant growth.
• •Plant citronella outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Choose a site with bright sunlight and, if possible, a little afternoon shade to protect the plant's delicate leaves during the hottest parts of the day.
• •Citronella (mosquito plant) is a type of scented geranium. These attractive, fragrant plants offer beautiful blooms and have been bred to give off a variety of scents, from mint to nutmeg to apple.
• •Citronella is the perfect outdoor plant. Not only does it look great in a decorative pot, the fresh scent of citrus will surround your outdoor spaces like no other plant can. Its fragrant leaves will also freshen up any room indoors.
• •Citronella has soft leaves, similar to herbs like mint or basil. We grow your plants large, and then cut it back so it ships better. When they arrive, give them a drink then remove any damaged stems or leaves.
