Did you know?  The Citronella Ceylon plant, known scientifically as Cymbopogon nardus, is renowned for its distinctive, lemon-scented essential oil, which is widely used as a natural insect repellent. One unusual aspect of this plant is its ability to confuse mosquitoes' sense of smell. Citronella oil masks the environmental cues that mosquitoes use to locate their targets, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid emitted by humans, effectively making it harder for these insects to find people to bite.

Another interesting feature of the Citronella Ceylon plant is its growth habit. Unlike many other plants that spread through seed dispersion, Citronella Ceylon primarily propagates through its rhizomes (underground stems), enabling it to spread quickly and form dense clumps. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for natural, sustainable landscaping and for creating barriers against mosquitoes in outdoor spaces.
