Tales from nature

The stem is erected with ribbed leaves of a beautiful intense green color, tending to bluish and pendulum, and both emanate a pleasant citrus scent.
The essence of citronella is in fact particularly used in cosmetics, as the fragrance of numerous cosmetic products, thanks to its essential oil.
