Lantana
Lantana is a tough, sun-loving mosquito-repelling plant that adds bursts of color to your garden while helping to keep mosquitoes away. Its clusters of small, brightly colored flowers come in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. The oils in its leaves and flowers act as a natural deterrent, especially when the plant is brushed or disturbed. Lantana thrives in hot, dry conditions and grows well in containers, garden beds, or as ground cover. It’s drought-tolerant and requires little maintenance once established. While lantana is toxic if ingested by pets or children, it remains a favorite in mosquito-prone areas due to its resilience and effectiveness.
