You could use sweetened cornbread and muffin mix around the plants soil. The ants like the sweet and take it back to the nest, but they can't digest the cornmeal. Keep putting it in place, and on Ant mounds if you find them, depending on the size of the mound and the ant, it may take a number of days for all the ants to eat the cornmeal. I had treated a fairly large ant hill of larger black ants that took four treatments for it to have no more activity, and the hill is still dead after a month. If the cornmeal is gone overnight, put more down, one package goes a long ways, you will see no more ants if you disturb the mound. Perhaps the sweet will keep them off your flowers long enough to kill off the mound. Just check now and then to see if more ants from another mound will show up.
