Citronella Story

This summer’s citronella crop comes in everything from tiny terra-cotta pots (Gracious Home) to polka-dot buckets (Target). But if you want something really festive, try potting your own. Plant a bunch of these flowers ($1 each) in a pail, as shown, or accessorize place settings with individual stems. Either way, you won’t be bugged during dinner.
