Pennyroyal, English
(Mentha pulegium) P400
Perennial 1' Full Sun–Part Sun Hardy/Herbaceous Purple F,GC,W! $4.75

The strong mint-scented leaves of Pennyroyal make an excellent ground cover, spreading like a mint. Pulegium is derived from the Latin pulex, meaning "flea", because pennyroyal is a very effective flea and ant repellant. It is a common ingredient in many flea shampoos for pets. Although pennyroyal has been used in teas and cooking (notably the black pudding of Northern England) for centuries, it is not recommended for internal use. It contains pulegone, a toxic compound notorious for causing abortion, and also leads to irreversible kidney damage. But is smells great between pavers! Pennyroyal can cause allergic reactions, use caution.

Pyrethrum - Out of Stock
(Tanacetum cinerarifolium) P600
Perennial 1' Full Sun Tender/Evergreen White-Yellow O,W! $6.75

The pretty white flowers contain pyrethrins, which act on the nervous systems of most insects, but are harmless to fish, birds and mammals. To make your own pyrethrum spray, just mix 1 tablespoon of ground dried flowers with 1 quart of hot water, let stand until cool and spray on bug-infested plants. Warning: Some people can be allergic to pyrethrum, so use caution.
