Lemon Thyme
Keeping those plants around help a lot in repelling mosquitoes away - they might even do better than lemongrass. The trick is to crush the leaves of the lemon thyme to dissipate the lemon scent. In the kitchen, lemon thyme beats common thyme with it's wonderful flavor. However, lemon thyme is best used fresh, as it's flavor fades away when dried.

I grow lemon thyme here in Alaska and it is marginally hardy. Sometimes it lives, sometimes not. I love it though find I make excuses to replace the dead ones. The smell is divine!
