I'm about to start buying some plants but I wanted to know which are the most resistant to Japanese Beetles. I live in north central Virginia and we get them around mid-May. I didn't know about this pest until I moved from the Caribbean and found out the hard way (they devoured my petunias and the cherry blossom). I'm tired of having too many evergreeens (which I found out they're not attracted to) and it's time to add some color to my garden. Which plants do you recommend?
Which ornamental plants are resistant to Japanese Beetles?
