Citrosa Geranium: Does It Really Repel Mosquitoes?

Citrosa is a scented geranium (Pelargonium 'Citrosa'). Its oils are 40–60% as effective as DEET when rubbed on skin, but the plant itself does not create a protective zone. A pedestal fan works far better. Lemon balm actually contains more citronellal. Citrosa is an annual in Atlanta; perennial only in frost-free zones.
