3. Lemongrass

Citronella is an oil found in lemongrass, a group of plants in the Cymbopogon family. Unless you live in Florida, chances are this plant isn’t a great choice to grow in your garden, but you can grow lemongrass in pots as an annual, in full sun, and bring it inside for the winter. Lemongrass serves double-duty as a natural mosquito repellant and a delicious culinary flavor-enhancer for your soups, salad dressings, and chicken or pork dishes.
