Description
Bonnie Plants Citronella makes for a fragrant addition to herb gardens, flower borders, and deck containers. A member of the geranium family, place this basket of citronella where you can brush against the leaves as you walk by, or in a pot where you can rub the leaves to enjoy their fragrance. These plants are vigorous growers, even in areas of partial shade. They are also drought tolerant. Go easy on the fertilizer, because too much nitrogen can reduce the fragrance of the leaves. When fully grown a Bonnie Plants Citronella plant will be between 24-36 inches tall. Although the oil from crushed leaves may have some ability to discourage mosquitoes, the plants alone are grown more for their citrus scent than as a mosquito repellent. Use Miracle-Gro Soil and Plant Food to grow Bonnie Plants Citronella and enjoy your best harvest yet. Get a jump start on growing at home by starting with a young live plant instead of seed with Bonnie Plants.
