Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is celebrated not just for its culinary uses but for its efficacy in repelling mosquitoes. Its strong citrus fragrance, which is pleasant to humans, confounds insects, making it a garden essential for those looking to enjoy their spaces without the annoyance of bites. Additionally, lemongrass can be used in teas and culinary dishes, bringing a fresh, lemony zest to your meals.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a versatile perennial prized for its feathery foliage and clusters of tiny flowers. Its strong, herbal aroma may repel soft-bodied insects like mosquitoes, aphids, and flies, making it a valuable addition to gardens and field margins. Yarrow also attracts beneficial insects such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps, enhancing natural pest control. With its drought tolerance and low maintenance needs, yarrow thrives in sunny spots and can be used in herbal teas or as a natural insect repellent spray.

Sage (Salvia officinalis) not only adds a robust flavor to dishes but also serves as a deterrent for many insects. Its pungent aroma is unappealing to many garden pests, making it an excellent companion plant in your vegetable and herb gardens. Sage is a perennial herb, offering both culinary and ornamental value year after year.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is another herb with multiple benefits. Its woody scent is disliked by many insects, making it an excellent plant for natural pest control. Rosemary is also a culinary staple, perfect for flavoring meats, soups, and more. It thrives in containers and requires minimal care.

Lavender (Lavandula Intermedia) is renowned for its calming aroma and beautiful purple blooms. It is particularly effective at repelling moths, mosquitoes, and fleas. Lavender can also be used in crafting, cooking, and creating relaxing herbal preparations. It's a perennial that prefers sunny locations and well-drained soil.

Marigold, Tangerine Gem (Tagetes spp.) is a vibrant addition to any garden, known for its ability to repel various pests, including nematodes and aphids. The intense scent and bright colors of marigolds are believed to confuse insects, protecting nearby plants. These hardy annuals are also easy to grow and can add a splash of color to your garden borders or vegetable beds. Tangerine Gem will continue to grow all season and you can even eat the flowers!

Ships during a two-week period - we typically ship on Mondays or Tuesdays to ensure that the plants don't sit in the post office over the weekend.
