Companion planting is an organic method of maintaining a natural balance in your garden by growing plants together that are mutually beneficial.

Let's start!

Light Yellow Arrow

1

nasturtium & geranium

With their peppery, astringent scent, these plants repel all things that can harm your broccoli, like cabbage worms and whiteflies.

2

BEETS

Beets are a beautiful companion plant because while broccoli requires lots of calcium, beets do not need nearly as much. Broccoli also helps the beet by infusing essential minerals into the soil that aid its development

3

HERBS

Rosemary and other aromatic herbs like basil, mint, thyme, and sage repel insect pests with their strong scent and flavor. Their smell can also discourage cabbage moths from laying eggs on your broccoli plant.

4

onions

Onions grow well with broccoli and are said to improve their flavor.

5

rhubarb

Rhubarb repels the cabbage whitefly and other leaf-eating bugs because their leaves contain toxic oxalic acid.
