Flowers not only decorate the territory of a country plot and please the eye, but can also fight pests and diseases in the garden.

But which plants exactly can handle this task?

Nasturtium

Repels whiteflies, which like to attack flowers and greenhouse crops.

In addition, it will get rid of late blight, pumpkin beetles, and aphids.

The plant is also used to protect potatoes. To do this, the flowers and stems need to be placed in trenches before planting.

Chamomile

This simple flower is destructive to mosquitoes, flies, ants, fleas and lice, aphids and even cockroaches.
But not only the flowers that grow on the plot are beneficial. If necessary, you can use dried and ground chamomile.

Marigold

Unpretentious and lush flowers not only attract attention, but are also destructive to many pests. The aroma of marigolds will drive away onion flies, weevils and other insects.

Experienced gardeners recommend chopping up marigolds in the fall and burying them in the soil - their natural antiseptic properties will help disinfect the soil.

Imperial Fritillary

This plant is excellent at fighting rodents, just like marigolds, daffodils or milkweed.

Calendula

It is excellent in combating slugs on cabbage and Colorado beetles on potato plantings. In addition, if you plant flowers next to strawberries, their aroma will protect berry plantings from aphids.
