✂️ Care
Regularly pinch back stems to encourage dense branching and a compact silhouette. Remove faded flowers to prolong the generous bloom and stimulate the continuous production of new flowers.
Its dark green and aromatic foliage releases a natural lemony scent renowned for repelling mosquitoes and other undesirable insects. Requiring ample light and regular watering, it rewards care with abundant and delicate blooms.
Ideal for pots, planters, and terraces where its elegant flowers and natural repellent action make it a valuable ally for outdoor evenings free of pests.
