List of companion plants explained

See main article: Companion planting. This is a list of companion plants, traditionally planted together. Many more are in the list of beneficial weeds. Companion planting is thought by its practitioners to assist in the growth of one or both plants involved in the association. Possible mechanisms[1] include attracting beneficial insects,[2] repelling pests,[3] or providing nutrients such as by fixing nitrogen,[4] shade, or support. Companion plantings can be part of a biological pest control program.[5] A large number of companion plant associations have been proposed; only a few of these have been subjected to scientific testing. Thus where a table column for example states "Helps" or "Helped by", this is to be read as meaning that traditional companion planting involves putting the named plants in that column into an association with the plant named at the left of the row, with the intention of causing the one plant to help or be helped by the other. Mechanisms that have been scientifically verified include using strongly aromatic plants to deter pests; using companions to hide crops from pests; providing plants as nurseries for beneficial insects including predators and parasitoids; trap cropping; and allelopathy, where a plant inhibits the growth of other species.[6]

Alliums Allium Fruit trees, nightshades (tomatoes,[7] capsicum peppers,[8] potatoes[9]), brassicas, carrots Carrots,[10] tomatoes,[11] carrots and African spider plants (Cleome gynandra) together, marigolds (Tagetes spp.),[12] mints Thrips slugs (see Garlic), -aphids, carrot fly, -cabbage loopers, -cabbage maggots, -cabbage worms,[13] -Japanese beetles Beans, peas Alliums is a family of plants which includes onions and garlic.
Asparagus Asparagus officinalis Tomatoes, parsley Aster family flowers, dill, coriander, tomatoes,[14] parsley, basil, comfrey, marigolds, nasturtiums[15] Onion, garlic, potatoes
Beans, bush Phaseolus vulgaris Cucumber, strawberries Celery, strawberries, grains soybeans, dry beans, alfalfa "Lettuce, potato, tomato, other legumes, crucifers, or cucurbits increase sclerotinia" in the soil and should be avoided before and after snap beans. See the entry for "Legumes" for more info
Beans, pole Phaseolus vulgaris Radishes, Corn brassicas, kohlrabi[16] the stalk of the corn provides a pole for the beans to grow on, which then gives nitrogen to the soil of the corn. Beans and corn are (with squash) traditional "Three Sisters" plants. As for Radishes, see the entry for "Legumes".
Beans, fava Vicia faba Strawberries, Celery[17] See the entry for "Legumes" for more info
Beets Beta vulgaris bush beans, cabbage, lettuce, kohlrabi, onions, brassicas, passion fruit Bush beans, onions, kohlrabi, catnip,[18] garlic, mint Runner or pole beans Good for adding minerals to the soil through composting leaves which have up to 25% magnesium. Runner or pole beans and beets stunt each other's growth.
Brassicas Brassica onions, Beets, spinach, chard, Aromatic plants or plants with many blossoms, such as celery, chamomile, and marigolds.[19] Dill, sage, peas,[20] peppermint, spearmint,[21] rosemary, rye-grass,[22] garlic, onions[23] and potatoes. geraniums, alliums, nasturtium, borage, hyssop, tomatoes,[24] thyme, wormwood, southernwood, beans, clover[25] Wireworms Mustards, nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, etc.), pole beans, strawberries Brassicas are a family of plants which includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, radish, and turnip. Thyme, nasturtiums, and onion showed good resistance to cabbage worm, weevil and cabbage looper.
Broccoli Brassica oleracea Lettuce Beets, dill, onions, tomato,[26] turnip,[27] cloverBroccoli as a main crop intercropped with lettuce was shown to be more profitable than either crop alone. Turnip acts as a trap crop. See brassicas entry for more info
Brussels sprouts Brassica oleracea Sage,[28] thyme, clover,
Cabbage Brassica oleracea / Brassica chinensis Beans, celery Beans, clover,[29] [30] calendula/pot marigold,[31] chamomile, larkspur, nasturtiums, dill,[32] coriander,[33] hyssop, onions, beets, mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, Snails and slugs Grapes See brassicas entry for more info. If using clover as an intercrop it should be sown after cabbage transplant so as not to affect crop yield. Nasturtiums repel cabbage moths
Carrots Daucus carota Tomatoes, alliums, beans, leeks, lettuce,[34] onions, passion fruit Assassin bug, lacewing, parasitic wasp, yellow jacket and other predatory wasps Leek moth, onion fly Dill, parsnip, radish Tomatoes grow better with carrots, but may stunt the carrots' growth. Beans provide the nitrogen carrots need more than some other vegetables. Aromatic companion plants repel carrot fly. Alliums inter-planted with carrots confuse onion and carrot flies. For the beneficial insect-attracting properties of carrots to work, they need to be allowed to flower; Otherwise, use wild carrot, Queen Anne's Lace, for the same effect.
Cauliflower Brassica oleracea Beans, celery, spinach,[35] peas Mixture of Chinese cabbage, marigolds, rape, and sunflower.[36] Spinach,[37] peas See brassicas for more info. See peas regarding their mutualism with cauliflower.

Peas Pisum sativum Turnip,[61] cauliflower, garlic, Turnip, cauliflower, garlic, mints Colorado potato beetle Peas when intercropped with turnips, cauliflower, or garlic showed mutual suppression of growth however their profit per land area used was increased.
Peppers Solanaceae, Capsicum Okra Beans,[62] tomatoes, okra, geraniums, petunias, sunflowers,[63] [64] onions crimson clover,[65] basil, field mustard Beans, kale (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, etc.) Pepper plants like high humidity, which can be helped along by planting with some kind of dense-leaf or ground-cover companion, like marjoram and basil; pepper plants grown together, or with tomatoes, can shelter the fruit from excess sunlight, and raise the humidity level. Sunflowers, when in bloom at the right time, shelter beneficial insects, lowering thrips populations.
Potato Solanum tuberosum Brassicas, beans, corn, peas,[66] passion fruit Horseradish, beans, dead nettle, marigolds, peas, onion, garlic,[67] thyme, clover[68] Mexican bean beetle Atriplex, carrot, cucumber, pumpkin, raspberries, squash, sunflower, tomato Horseradish increases the disease resistance of potatoes.

Dill attracts tomato hornworm.

Growing tomatoes with Basil does not appear to enhance tomato flavour but studies have shown that growing them around 10 inches apart can increase the yield of tomatoes by about 20%. One study shows that growing chili peppers near tomatoes in greenhouses increases tomato whitefly on the tomatoes.Cucumbers and squash can be used as living mulch, or green mulch, around tomato plants. The large leaves of these vining plants can help with soil moisture retention.
Turnips and rutabagas Brassica rapa and Brassica napobrassica Peas, broccoli Hairy vetch, peas hedge mustard, knotweed Turnips act as a trap crop for broccoli. See peas regarding their mutualism with turnips.

Root-knot nematodes,[91] [92] beet leaf hoppers, cucumber beetle, squash bug, onion fly, cabbage root fly Marigolds are a wonder-drug of the companion plant world, invoking the saying "plant them everywhere in your garden". French marigolds (T. patula) produce a pesticidal chemical from their roots, so strong it lasts years after they are gone. Mexican marigolds (T. erecta) do the same, but are so strong they will inhibit the growth of some more tender herbs. Stinking Roger (T. minuta) has also been found effective against certain perennial weeds.[93] Same with lupin, planting nearby roses causes them to grow vigorously.
