Marigolds are just a must.  My little experience with gardening even let me know marigolds are a natural ant repellent.

Queen Sophia is a French marigold producing double, russet-red
flowerheads with a gold-edged rim on the petals. In general, marigolds
are robust, trouble free plants which branch vigorously. Leaves are
finely divided and dark green, to 4 inches. More compact than African
types. Yellow to rich maroon blooms from early summer until frost.
Single or double blooms, may be bi-colored. Smaller blooms than
African types. Great for edging and containers. Especially useful as a
natural insect repellant in the vegetable or herb garden. Remove spent
flowers to encourage extended bloom period and to keep plants compact.  source
