Muscate antitantari - Pelargonium graveolens ‘Eva’ (Anti-Mosquito)
Pelargonium ‘Eva’ Anti-Mosquito is a variety of scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), grown not only for the beauty of its foliage and delicate flowers but also for its natural mosquito-repelling properties. The leaves release a fresh scent with citrus and woody notes, which flying insects, especially mosquitoes, tend to avoid. It is ideal for placing near outdoor relaxation areas – terraces, balconies, or porches.
