4. Nasturtiums

Nasturtium is one of the plants that produces delicious flowers with adorable leaves and vivid petals. In contrast to the plants we previously described, this one draws insects away from you and other plants in your garden. This plant can also shield whatever veggies you have in your yard from summer invaders like spiders.

Plant nasturtiums at least 10 to 12 inches apart since they can trail across open areas of the garden. They flourish where there are six to eight hours of daily direct sunlight. Additionally, their attractive blossoms are completely edible and might improve the look of your salad.
