It's easy to prioritize show-stopping blooms, but once warmer weather arrives, there's one thing that you'll never regret adding to your garden: fly-repellent container plants. From lavender, mint and lemon balm to nasturtiums and marigolds, these won't just create an impressive display; they will also keep mosquitoes, flies and other critters under control.
After all, while you might want a backyard that looks spectacular in the summertime, it's easy to overlook more practical matters – and that includes keeping your space pest-free. You won't be keen to soak up the sun if you're constantly batting away pests.
