Scented Geranium ‘Mosquitaway Eva’ (Pelargonium citrosum ‘Mosquitaway Eva’)

Scented Geranium ‘Mosquitaway Eva’ (Pelargonium citrosum ‘Mosquitaway Eva’) is a fragrant foliage plant prized for its refreshing citrus-like scent, attractive deeply cut leaves, and ornamental pink flowers. Popular for patios, decks, and outdoor entertaining areas, this scented geranium is often grown for its aromatic foliage and its reputation as a companion plant around outdoor living spaces.

The finely divided green foliage releases a strong lemon-citronella fragrance when touched or brushed against, creating a pleasant sensory experience in the garden. Throughout the growing season, clusters of soft pink to lavender-pink flowers appear above the foliage, adding colour and attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Mosquitaway Eva forms a dense, bushy plant that performs beautifully in patio containers, window boxes, raised planters, and mixed annual displays. Its fragrant foliage provides season-long interest and combines well with flowering annuals, herbs, and tropical plants. While often associated with mosquito-deterring gardens, it is best appreciated for its attractive appearance and fragrant foliage.

In Alberta, Mosquitaway Eva is typically grown as a summer annual and thrives in containers and outdoor planters throughout the warm season.
