Flowers that repel mosquitoes and flies
The group of anti-mosquito plants includes many herbs and popular long-flowering plants that are very undemanding and easy to care for. The most popular bee-friendly balcony flowers against mosquitoes are:
Catnip keeps mosquitoes away from the balcony
Botanical name: Nepeta cataria
Cats are magically attracted to the leaf and flower scent of catnip, but the perennial plant effectively repels insects such as flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches. It grows bushy, requires little space and is therefore a beautiful choice for pots, flower boxes and even hanging baskets. It loves sunny locations and slightly moist but well-drained soil.
