Floss Flower
Floss flower, also known as ageratum, produces clusters of fuzzy, blue-purple flowers that release coumarin, a compound mosquitoes dislike. This annual thrives in full sun and adds a soft splash of color to any landscape. It’s compact and works well in borders, containers, or flower beds. While not as potent as citronella or lavender, floss flower still contributes to a mosquito-repelling garden strategy. Its delicate look hides its tough bug-fighting abilities. Water it regularly and deadhead spent blooms to keep it flourishing all season. Floss flower is an attractive way to protect your space without relying on harsh chemicals.
