Mosquitoes can quickly turn a peaceful garden into a frustrating battleground. Instead of relying on chemical sprays, many gardeners prefer natural solutions. Certain plants naturally repel mosquitoes thanks to their strong scents or oils. Adding these plants to your garden not only beautifies your space but also keeps pesky mosquitoes at bay. Here are the 10 best mosquito repellent plants to grow in your garden.
The 10 Best Mosquito Repellent Plants
Citronella Grass
Known as the classic mosquito repellent plant, citronella grass contains oils that mosquitoes find unpleasant. It’s often used in candles and sprays but works just as well planted in your garden.
Lavender
Lavender’s soothing scent is loved by humans but hated by mosquitoes. Its vibrant purple flowers also attract pollinators, making it a double benefit.
Marigolds
Marigolds produce a strong smell that mosquitoes dislike. They are easy to grow and add bright color to any garden.
