Thank you for the video. So helpful! May I ask, what’s the color difference between Royal Raspberry and Rosie Posie? Do the water sources attract mosquitos?

Just a thimble full of water will be enough for mosquitoes lay eggs. I was surprised when I learned that.

Thanks for watching. The difference between the two is more about height than color. They are a very similar hot pink/magenta. The Royal Raspberry is 24-36" High and wide while the Rosie Posie is more compact at 18" High and 24-30" Wide.
Standing water will attract mosquitoes so we recommend a fountain or mister or if you have a bird bath, use a solar fountain or a product like a water wiggler that will constantly stir or agitate the water.
