Scented geraniums are very easy to grow. The citronella type with its lemon fragrance is also known as the “Mosquito Plant” for its ability to repel mosquitoes. Just pluck a leaf or two, crush to release fragrance and rub on your skin. This plant also gets small pink flowers in summer. Though not hardy here, if you grow it in a container, it transitions easily to a houseplant if kept near a bright window. They can get 2-3 feet high and wide but are easily trimmed. Grow in sun or part sun locations.
