I've ordered some creeping thyme seeds because that attracts tachinid flies to help control them but was wondering if there are other plants that are both good for the cherry tree while also combating japanese beetles?

Just saw this video where they talk about attracting ground beetles to hunt the japanese beetles. About 7 minutes in https://youtu.be/TIaYP99MKFM

    Will definitely do some planting to attract these, I think I'm somewhat out of luck for this year so am gonna have to get scent traps but hopefully plants will be established by next summer and attracting the right bugs to kill off the beetles
