I've heard it might be tricky. Is it true? What is the best way to that? It's this year's plant. No flowers yet.

Where do you live? What zone are you in?
Mosquito Shoo Geranium
Pelargonium citrosum 'Van Leenii'
Lavender, citronella grass, catnip, horse mint, pennyroyal, alliums, tansy, rosemary, catmint, (which is a clumping plant; and not invasive like catnip, pennyroyal, and mints - and is beautiful). I would plant lavender, rosemary, and catmint; personally - unless it is for an area you don't mind the plant taking over.
Thank you so much!
