Pelargonium citrosum, Citronella Citrosa Geranium, Mosquito Plant, Cnt Sz: 4.5"($24.66Value)

Description

LIVE PLANT: Attractive outdoor Citronella Geranium live plant for the patio arrives at about 8" in height with full foliage. Not seeds. No starter plant here! This plant will arrive ready for immediate display. SCENTED: This Scented Geranium has the bright and reassuring scent of Citronella, which mosquitoes dislike. You'll recognize the fragrance as one of summertime. LACY CUT FOLIAGE: Pelargonium citrosum has highly cut foliage that results in a lacy look... very attractive. PINK FLOWERS: While you'll love this as a foliage plant, the warmth of summer will coax out airy pink blooms on the Mosquito Plant. OLD-FASHIONED CHARM: Scented Geraniums are classic plants. Pelargonium citrosum's good looks and fragrance are perfect for solo container plantings (no need for "thrills" and "spills" with this one) for front porches, back decks, and any spot where you sit and enjoy summer... deer-free, bunny-free, and maybe even with a reduced number of mosquitoes. EASY-CARE: The self-sufficiency of this strong plant is worth noting. You don't need to have much of a green thumb to get this plant to thrive. Overwinter as a houseplant. U.S.-GROWN: Your Pelargonium is grown in our northern-Wisconsin greenhouse, more than 40 years in operation, in the same hands. Our work doesn't feel like work at all. We love getting intriguing and classic plants into the hands of fellow plant lovers. SAFETY & SUSTAINABILITY: We use safe growing methods, not rushing plants to market but letting them slowly develop into strong and attractive stock. We ship our plants in environmentally responsible packaging. Less worry and mess for you! SMALL BUSINESS: We are a small team that takes pride in offering a select number of high-quality plants (the same plants we sell through our brick-and-mortar operation) to fellow plant lovers far and wide. Order with confidence. This Scented Geranium has intricately cut chartreuse foliage that not only looks great but also smells sharp and bright, like Citronella. This fragrance is most apparent when the lacy leaves are crushed. It blooms from spring to fall in pale pink with a bit of maroon to mark each flower. Flowers are light and airy, having an orchid-like appearance. While this Geranium is attractive to humans and pollinators, it will not get noticed by deer, so it can fill out into a nice bushy form as the season moves forward. (Take it in to use as a houseplant when the cold weather arrives.) While you cannot expect this plant to rid your yard of mosquitoes, it certainly adds a nice scent and look to garden displays and containers.
