The East Indian lemon grass is on the upper left of the planter.
It is a container grass and will grow 24 to 36 inches tall.
The scented geranium Citronella is also expected to be 24-36 inches tall.
Not much other information on the tag about this one.
The rosemary is a roasting type so it should be upright also.
It was not included in the grouping of mosquito-repelling plants at the nursery,
but it was on several of the lists I read and considered part of "the triad".
I was confused when the nursery signs said "Mosquito plant"
and the tag said scented Geranium "Citronella".
I talked with the owner and he assured me this is the correct plant for my purposes.
But what plant is it?
I'm willing to try this combination as an experiment--
But then I read this article!
I'll let you know at the end of the season whether we suffered from
mosquito bites--or not.
