Some gardeners don't even think about flowers in the garden when planning their plantings. And that's completely in vain!
Not everyone knows what flowers are good in combined plantings and why they are needed there at all.
The benefits of flowers in the garden
Undoubtedly, a garden with flowers is always not only beautiful, but also very useful. After all, each flower has its own scent.
When you are in a store in front of shelves with seeds, it is difficult to choose the right flower: you want to take everything. In order not to make a mistake and get the most useful ones for your garden, pay attention to these three flowers.
Nasturtium
The plant will protect the plantings from harmful insects. In those areas where nasturtium is growing on the beds, there are no whiteflies, aphids, moths or Colorado beetles.
The flower suppresses root nematodes, fungi, improves and enriches the soil.
Calendula
An unpretentious flower will help protect the soil from weeds. Calendula is a useful green manure that will enrich the soil with nutrients. The plant will protect the beds from caterpillars, wireworms, mites, Colorado beetles and nematodes.
Marigold
The plant's unique aroma will repel pests from the planting beds and protect against fungi.
Marigolds are a well-known green manure that improves the soil and suppresses the growth of weeds.
