Pelargonium 'Mosquitaway Eva' – Scented Geranium

Pelargonium 'Mosquitaway Eva' – Scented Geranium (Angel Pelargonium)

A delightful combination of scented-leaf and Angel pelargonium parentage, 'Mosquitaway Eva' pairs strongly citrus-scented foliage with a generous display of rich violet and white flowers from spring through fall. Its compact, bushy habit and attractive lobed leaves make it excellent for window boxes, hanging baskets, patio pots, and sheltered garden plantings. Enjoy the fragrance when brushing the foliage, and use its scented leaves in potpourris and corsages; flower stems also offer a long vase life. Deer and drought tolerant once established, it flowers best with moderate watering, good drainage, regular feeding, and removal of faded blooms. This is a tender perennial: wait until frost risk has passed before moving it outdoors and overwinter in a bright, frost-free place.
