6. Lavender has a heavenly scent, but insects aren’t a fan

A perennial that loves hot sun and dry soil, lavender is an excellent choice for flower gardens. The perfect bouquet flower, they work well as a fresh-cut flower or in a dried arrangement. Its fragrant scent makes it a favorite choice for creating sachets and potpourri. Lavender has silvery-green foliage and upright purple flower spikes that bloom from June through August. They serve as a natural pest repellent when planted around porches or patios.
