I want to plant bushes in my yard to repel mosquitos. I've heard there is such a thing but don't know the name of it or where it is. Does anyone here know of anything like that?

I've heard that Citrosa geranium, marigolds, crysanthemums, catnip and lemon grass are supposed to work. I've also heard that Thai lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) was supposed to be the best. Haven't tried any of it yet. I haven't been able to find lemon grass anywhere.
