Luxurious Citronella Garden Candles

Now is the time to start planning for those relaxing evenings spent on the patio, balcony or in your garden if you’re lucky enough to have one. What better way is there than to sit back on a balmy evening, relaxing with a glass of wine, while your beautiful garden candles and garden incense helps keep those pesky bugs at bay.

Citronella infused candles and incense are the answer to creating a lovely welcoming garden, while you sit down and enjoy a mouthwatering barbecue. After all, there’s nothing worse than trying to dine out alfresco, then having to share your food with wasps, mosquitoes and other unsavoury bugs.

You don’t need much space outside to make the most of one or two citronella garden candles or garden incense sticks. Simply place them in a convenient location outside and let the luxurious scent spread delicately around. Ideally, it’s best to use garden candles or garden incense when there is less wind about to make the most of the fragrance and for it to have a good effect.

Citronella is a natural repellent and is used in many commercially sold insect products. In its natural form it grows as a tall, aromatic, perennial grass and is native to Sri Lanka. It’s also used extensively in essential oils for its versatility and use in skin care and household products.

Primarily, citronella is  great for fighting parasites and mosquitoes and as such, garden candles and garden incense are perfect for outdoors.
