Such simple-looking flowers as marigolds combine two important qualities at once.

As gardeners note, the whole point is that lush and beautiful flowers perfectly decorate the area, and are also beneficial, since they are able to repel some pests with their aroma.

But there are other useful flowers that not only decorate flower beds, but also save the garden and vegetable garden from insects.

For example, you can pay attention to pyrethrum.

The leaves of this plant emit a scent similar to wormwood. The inflorescences resemble chamomile.
