Southernwood Mosquito Repellent Herb 2-Pot Set

Southernwood (also known as Artemisia abrotanum) is a highly effective insect-repelling herb, also affectionately called Kayo-razu (mosquitoes don't visit).

It has a refreshing scent, like a mix of absinthe and lemon, which is pleasant to humans but contains compounds that insects like mosquitoes and moths dislike.

It is very hardy and easy to grow, making it suitable for beginners.

Insect Repellent Effect: Said to be effective against mosquitoes, moths, flies, and clothes pests (such as the varied carpet beetle).
How to Use:
For Skin Application: Lightly rub the leaves to release their scent and apply to the skin, or use the sap from cut stems as a mosquito repellent.

For Indoor Use/Clothing: Dried leaves placed in a sachet can be used as a moth repellent in closets.

For Potpourri/Wreaths: Its beautiful ash-green leaves (silver leaves) can be used for decorative purposes or in potpourri.

Precautions: Simply planting it alone will have a limited effect; it is important to rub the leaves to release their fragrance.
