what are the mosquito repellent herbs
Basil has a reputation as a mosquito repellent. There are many varieties of basil and the ones most often suggested as having repellent properties are lemon basil, cinnamon basil and Peruvian basil (Ocimim micranthum) -- a variety we no longer carry.
Rosemary. The rosemary herb contains an essential oil which acts as a natural mosquito repellent. Grow rosemary in pots then shift it indoors in winter, since the plant does not tolerate long periods of cold climate.
