Pelargonium citrosum ‘Van Leenii’ or more commonly known as The Mozzie Buster!
Pelargonium is a very tough, hardy, evergreen perennial. It’s an outdoor and indoor shrub/herb known for its soft velvety green foliage with strong citronella fragrance to deter mosquitoes.
It prefers an open sunny position, perfect for around outdoor living areas, on patios, in pots and containers, in the garden or hanging baskets.
It’s also great for around outdoor animal areas/enclosures to keep mosquitoes away from pets.
Grows to roughly 1-1.5m in height but can be pruned shorter to desired height and shape.
It has small mauve flowers in spring and summer.
Ideal for cooking, it can be used to add a unique flavour to your meals.
To release its natural fragrance sq**rt with water or brush the foliage.
Also water at dusk to release the natural oils.
