Mosquito Plant

Melaleuca ‘Claret Tops’ (Mosquito Plant) – Plant Commonly referred to as the Mosquito Plant, Melaleuca ‘Claret Tops’ is often believed by many to help in repelling mosquitoes — although there’s no scientific proof to confirm this claim. At Plantalay, we share what people believe, but we do not promote this plant as an anti-mosquito solution.

What truly makes this plant special is its aromatic foliage and striking red-tinted new growth that gives it the name ‘Claret Tops.’ Its compact, bushy form and colorful highlights make it a beautiful choice for hedges, borders, or as a standalone ornamental shrub. The light citrusy fragrance from its leaves adds a refreshing touch to any garden space.
