We are in the middle of summer and you have already started to use your balcony to spend peaceful hours and prepare pleasant dinners that you share with friends and family.

You have set up your terrace with a beautiful table and outdoor chairs, created a relaxation corner with cushions and a rug to enjoy the fragrant summer evening hours but like every year your dinners have also unwanted guests, mosquitoes . If you really don't want to leave yourself in peace, you have no choice but to rely on plants that as always come to your aid like those good friends who accompany you for life, silent but always present!

In fact, some plants are real natural repellents for mosquitoes and insects that, by not enduring their smell, move away.

Here are some, beautiful and fragrant ones that will adorn your balcony.

The queen of mosquito repellent plants is definitely the Citronella, we are used to smell candles and incense and also to find creams and perfumes in stores but Citronella is suitable to be cultivated on the balcony in pots and from March until July will perfume your environment by decorating it with its elongated leaves that create nice green tufts.

Another great ally is certainly the Basil, when you will not use it to prepare a tasty fresh pesto you can pick up a few leaves and pass it on your skin, its precious perfume is not pleasing to mosquitoes.

The Geraniums are often the protagonists of the flowered balconies, patches of color that brighten the facades of the buildings, in particular you can choose the variety Pelargonium Odoratissimum, a fragrant geranium, with an intense and pungent fragrance that removes even the most stubborn mosquitoes.

After setting up your balcony with these magnificent plants, all that is left is to finally fill your time by spending pleasant moments, long and slow summer evenings inebriated with scents of music and words!
