How to Grow and Care for a Citronella Plant (Mosquito Plant)
The most common citronella plant is a type of so-called 'scented geranium' except that garden geraniums are not actually geraniums – they're pelargoniums. In North America the plant goes by several names including Pelargonium (aka geranium) citrosum, mosquito plant, Pelargonium citrosum 'van Leenii', citranium or citrosa geranium.
