If you're fed up of mosquito bites in the warmer weather, this flowering plant is one you'll want to plant in your garden.
📅 Every summer, particularly in June and July, mosquitoes invade the UK, disrupting sleep and evenings out.🛡️ Installed on the windowsill or in the centre of the table outdoors, this plant effectively keeps mosquitoes away. In summer, mosquitoes are a nuisance that many people would like to do without. Yes, many Brits are delighted by the sight of sunshine and the warmer temperatures, but the mosquitoes are also back in force.
In fact, they are a feast for many animals, including birds and fish. They are also effective pollinators in the same way as butterflies and bees, feeding on flower nectar. There's an elegant plant with colourful flowers that has this superpower: the citronella geranium or scented geranium, also known as Pelargonium citronellum in botany.
This member of the Geraniaceae family thrives in bright sunshine. This will stimulate its flowering, which will be all the more vigorous and lush. Similarly, during long evenings out chatting with friends and family on the terrace, place a pot of this plant in the centre of the table. All you have to do is wait for the magic to happen.
