Re: mosquito repellent plant.
 
If it is the one I have seen in my nursery catalogs it's a mosquito shoo
geranium.  They smell like citranilla(sp?).
 
I think they are safe.  The Dallas Arboretum has it in the herb garden.
They also had some that smelled like pepper.  Several other scents too.
 
We had a couple last year and my girls pretty much ignored them.
 
Just keep an eye on the plant and look for chewed spots.
