Chris Beardshaw told me (what a name-dropper!) that marigolds deter blackfly so I wouldn't be surprised if it does the same for whitefly as well

Very lovely garden, and superb landscaping.

Very cool looking flowers, I will have to look into getting me one of these.

Leaves are a med green and the flower is light blue with a white bee. Guenivere's foliage is almost chartreuse and the flowers are a lovely soft two tone mauve, white bee with dark centre.

I have heard of using French Marigolds as an insect deterent...not specifically for whitefly though... Same as pyrethrum daisies....Chrysanthemum coccineum dust as an insecticide.
If you want plants specifically deterent to whitefly my herbal suggests Nasturtium, peppermint, thyme or wormwood. Hope this is useful.
