Lemongrass

Believe it or not, the oil found in Lemongrass ($8), called citral, is used in many bug repellents for its mosquito-fighting properties. Lemongrass also helps to fight off flies, making it a great plant for both indoor and outdoor use. Pot your hard-to-kill lemongrass indoors for the winter and garnish your foods with it.
