Plants Japanese Beetles Avoid: Designing a Resistant Landscape

Japanese beetles devastate roses, grapes, hollyhocks, and plums. The USDA publishes a list of resistant plants. Notably, among crape myrtles, 'Acoma' resists beetles while 'Pecos', 'Yuma', and 'Natchez' are favored.

Choose resistant species to maintain beauty without constant battle.
