Insects can wreak havoc on our flowers, leaving frustrated gardeners pondering how to fight back. However, there is another solution to avoid this problem—planting beautiful flowers that bugs happen to hate.
For a beautiful, pest-free garden that actually works to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects, we gathered seven flowers that naturally repel insects due to soapy sap, succulent leaves, hairy foliage, and other natural defenses.
By planting these, you have more time to devote to weeding, bouquet gathering, or just relaxing in the garden.
