Mosquito season can be irritating when simply trying to enjoy your backyard or garden. Mosquito-repellent plants and trees from TN Nursery can help keep these annoying, biting insects at bay. Certain plants and trees give off unpleasant odors to the pests and can drive them away without using chemicals or bug spray.
Are you annoyed by the buzzing of mosquitoes in your ear? Well, you’re not alone. Mosquito season is here; no matter how much you try, you will have itchy bites and irritating bumps. While you can maintain fly screens on windows and doors to keep them outside the house, they will still find their way into your home. Having them lurking in your garden harms your health as they carry infections that can seriously damage your health.
Keep Pest Away With Mosquito Repellent Plants
During the mosquito season, many people prefer to put on mosquito repellent, but it can cause irritation and allergies to some people. So, what is the best way to naturally keep these irritating and infectious flies at bay? There are many answers to that; however, planting mosquito-repellent fragrance plants is the best way to keep mosquitoes and allergies away from you.
Featured Mosquito Repellent Plants
At TN Nursery, we stock an entire collection of fragrance plants that do an excellent job of repelling mosquitoes. These mosquito-repellent fragrance plants not only enhance the beauty of your outdoor spaces but also leave a delicate aroma in the air that keeps these flies away.
There are different options for flowering plants, shrubs, or even moss. Some moss, including Fern Moss, Tree Moss, and Cushion Moss, may help repel mosquitoes. The moss usually covers the grounds, still water, and freshwater bodies. This helps stop mosquitos from laying eggs and building larvae, which can significantly reduce their breeding population.

You can also choose from an array of shrubs, such as Viburnum Dentatum and Arrowwood Viburnum, that will allow you to line boundaries and fill spaces to keep mosquitoes away. Lastly, you can buy Cedar Tree, Sweet Bay Magnolia, or any other tree from our fragrant plants for sale collection.

Easy to Grow
Tips for Planting For Success
Start by choosing a mild day—avoid harsh sun or wind—and prepare soft, well-drained soil with compost to give roots a gentle start. Dig a big enough to nestle the plant without crowding it. Hold it carefully by the base, not the stem, and set it in place so the roots can spread naturally.
Backfilling the Soil
Fill in soil lightly, firming it just enough to hold the plant upright without packing it too tightly. Water slowly at the base to avoid splashing or stress. Add a light layer of mulch to help with moisture, but keep it clear of the stem.
Monitor Progress
Over the next few weeks, monitor daily, especially during hot or dry spells, and protect from foot traffic or heavy rain. By nurturing them early, you help fragile plants root securely and grow into lasting, sustainable parts of the garden.
Grow Tips For Success
Mulching Tips
Use natural mulch like shredded leaves or straw to help keep the soil cool and prevent it from drying out, but be careful not to press mulch against the stems.
If your plants are in a breezy or exposed area, consider using shade cloth or planting them near sturdier companions to protect them from wind and harsh sunlight.
Avoid Chemicals Unless Necessary
Avoid using chemical fertilizers in the early stages—compost or diluted organic teas are better for building soil health without overwhelming delicate roots. If the stems are tall and thin, provide light support with small stakes and soft ties, being careful not to damage them.
Check plants for Stress
Check plants often for signs of stress or pests and respond gently to any issues that arise.
With a steady, thoughtful approach, even the most delicate plants can become strong and lasting additions to a sustainable garden.
