This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
This is a list of companion plants. Many more are in the list of beneficial weeds. Companion plants assist in the growth of others by attracting beneficial insects, repelling pests, or providing nutrients, shade, or support. They can be part of a biological pest control program.

Beets Beta vulgaris Broccoli,[5] bush beans,[11][21] cabbage,[21] lettuce,[21] kohlrabi,[13][22] onions,[13] brassicas,[21][18] passion fruit[23] Bush beans,[13][21] onions,[13] kohlrabi,[13][22] catnip,[citation needed] garlic,[13] lettuce,[11] most brassicas,[11] mint Runner or pole beans[13] 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 Beets,[11] onions,[13] potatoes,[citation needed] cereals (e.g. corn, wheat)[citation needed] Beets,[21][18] spinach,[18] chard,[18] Aromatic plants or plants with many blossoms, such as celery,[10][18] chamomile,[10][13][18] and marigolds.[9][10][24] Dill,[5][10][13] sage,[5][10] peas,[10] peppermint,[5][9][10] spearmint,[10] spurrey,[10] rosemary,[5][10] rye-grass,[10] garlic,[13] onions[18][25] and potatoes.[5] geraniums, alliums,[5] nasturtium,[10][25] borage, hyssop,[5][10] tansy,[10] tomatoes,[10] thyme,[5][10][25] wormwood,[5] southernwood,[5][10] beans,[17] clover[10] Wireworms Mustards, nightshades (tomatoes,[13][18] peppers, etc.), pole beans,[13][18] strawberries[13][18] 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.[25]
Broccoli Brassica oleracea Lettuce[26] Mixture of mustard, pac choi, and rape.[10] Beets, dill,[5][10] lettuce,[26] mustard,[10] onions,[10][21] tomato,[27] turnip,[28] clover[27] Broccoli as a main crop intercropped with lettuce was shown to be more profitable than either crop alone.[26] Turnip acts as a trap crop.[28] See brassicas entry for more info
Brussels sprouts Brassica oleracea Sage,[10][29] thyme,[10][29] clover,[29] malting barley[10]
Cabbage Brassica oleracea / Brassica chinensis Beans,[11] celery[5] Beans,[15] clover,[30][31] calendula/pot marigold,[32] chamomile,[21] larkspur,[13] nasturtiums,[21] dill,[21][33] coriander,[34] hyssop,[13] onions,[13][21] beets,[21] marigolds,[10] mint,[10][13][21] rosemary,[21] sage,[13][21] thyme,[21] tomatoes,[10] lacy phacelia,[10] Green onions with Chinese cabbage.[10] Snails and slugs[35] Grapes[36] 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[21]
Carrots Daucus carota Tomatoes,[37] alliums,[7] beans,[11] leeks,[12] lettuce,[13][38] onions,[7] passion fruit[23] Lettuce,[38] alliums (chives,[13] leeks,[13] onions,[7][13][14] shallots, etc.), rosemary,[13] wormwood,[13] sage,[13] beans, flax Assassin bug, lacewing, parasitic wasp, yellow jacket and other predatory wasps Leek moth,[14] onion fly[7][14] 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. Sage, rosemary, and radishes are recommended by some as companion plants, but listed by others as incompatible. 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 the wild carrot, Queen Anne's Lace, for the same effect. Flax produces an oil that may protect root vegetables like carrots from some pests.
Cauliflower Brassica oleracea Beans,[11] celery,[5] spinach,[39] peas[40] Mixture of Chinese cabbage, marigolds, rape, and sunflower.[10] Spinach,[39] peas[40] One row of spinach alternating at 60 cm from each row of cauliflower proved mutually beneficial.[39] See brassicas for more info. See peas regarding their mutualism with cauliflower.
Celery Apium graveolens Bush beans,[5][15] brassicas,[5][10][18] cucumber[41] Cosmos, daisies, snapdragons, leeks,[5] tomatoes,[5] cauliflower,[5] cabbage,[5] bush beans[5] Whiteflies[41] Corn, aster flowers Aster flowers, can transmit the aster yellows disease

Alyssum Lobularia maritima Grapes,[10] lettuce[61] Syrphidae[61] and most beneficial insects Aphids[61] Because they attract syrphidae they help reduce aphids through predation.[10][61]
Baby's breath Gypsophila paniculata Syrphidae[61] Aphids[61] Because they attract syrphidae they help reduce aphids through predation.[61]
Bee balm Monarda spp. Tomato[11][13] Bees
Californian poppy Eschscholzia californica Syrphidae[61] Aphids[61] Because they attract syrphidae they help reduce aphids through predation.[61]
Dianthus Dianthus caryophyllus Roses, lavender, echinacea, aster, foxglove Slugs
Geraniums Pelargonium spp. Roses, corn, peppers, grapes Leafhoppers, Japanese beetles Tomatoes, tobacco, eggplants and other nightshades A trap crop, attracting pests away from roses and grape vines, distracts beet leafhoppers, carrier of the curly top virus, keep away from solanaceous plants like eggplant, and tobacco
Larkspur Delphinium spp. Beans,[13] cabbage[13]
Lupin Lupinus Cucurbits, brassica, lettuce, rosemary, dill, strawberry,[16] rose Summer savory, rose Honeybees Tomatoes and other solanaceae This wildflower is a legume, hosting bacteria that fixes nitrogen in the soil, fertilizing it for neighboring plants. Same with marigold, planting nearby roses causes them to grow vigorously.
Marigold Tagetes patula, T. erecta, T. minuta Most plants, especially tomatoes[13] and peppers, cucurbits (cucumbers, gourds, squash, potatoes,[13] roses,[13] alliums,[9][10] brassicas,[9][10][24] zucchini[25] Rose Snails and slugs.[35] Root-knot nematodes,[84][85] beet leaf hoppers, cucumber beetle,[25] squash bug,[25] onion fly,[9] cabbage root fly[9] 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.[86] Same with lupin, planting nearby roses causes them to grow vigorously.
Nasturtium Tropaeolum majus Beans, squash,[13][57] tomatoes, fruit trees, brassicas,[10][25] radish[13][21] cucumbers[13] Predatory insects Aphids,[13] asparagus beetle,[13] cabbage looper,[13][25] cabbage worm,[13][25] carrot fly,[13] cabbage weevil,[25] Colorado potato beetle[13] squash bug,[13][25] Japanese beetle,[13] Mexican bean beetle,[13] striped pumpkin beetles, whitefly,[13] cucumber beetles[13] flea beetle[13] Cauliflower Trap crops for aphids, is among the best at attracting predatory insects, deters many pests of cucurbits
Pansy Viola x wittrockiana Alliums, onions, roses Roses Bees, butterflies, ants Ants (with aphids), snails, slugs, white butterfly A good and nice-smelling flower that really attracts ants. It is like the viola plant, but has two or three colors in flowers. Helps alliums and onions, which repels the white butterfly.
Petunia Petunia x hybrida Cucurbits (squash, pumpkins, cucumbers), asparagus Leafhoppers, Japanese beetles, aphids, asparagus beetle Is a trap crop almost identical to geraniums in function
Phacelia Phacelia tanacetifolia Plants which are prone to aphids, especially lettuce, tomato, rose hoverfly This plant attracts hoverflies and is good around plants which are prone to aphids.[87]
Rose Rosa spp. Chives,[13][21] garlic,[13] marigolds[13]
Sunflower Helianthus annuus Peppers,[64][65] corn, cucumber,[47] soybeans,[42] tomatoes, swan plant Swan plant Aphids Pole beans[11] Was grown as a companion for corn (maize) before modern Europeans arrived in the Americas, supposedly increases their production, ants herd aphids onto sunflowers, keeping them off neighboring plants. Works as a trap plant for thrips keeping them off of bell peppers.[65] Planting near swan plants help sunflowers grow rapidly.

Swan plant Gomphocarpus physocarpus, Asclepias physocarpa, milkweed Sunflower Sunflower, basil Monarch butterfly Aphids Plants that attracts aphids and spider mites Attracts the monarch butterfly during spring and summer. Basil repels pests that attracts by the swan plant like aphids.
Sweet pea Lathyrus odoratus Brassica, spinach, silverbeet and salads Bees Aphids An annual climbing plant, which is like the edible pea. Makes a good decoration in your garden or fence.
Tansy Tanacetum vulgare Beans, brassicas,[10] cucurbits (cucumbers, squash, etc.), raspberries and relatives, roses, corn, fruit trees[1] Ladybugs, honeybees flying insects(Ichneumonid wasps), ants,[13] Japanese beetles,[13] cabbage butterfly,[13] cabbage maggot,[13] asparagus beetle,[13] carrot fly,[13] striped cucumber beetles,[13] Colorado potato beetle,[13] cutworm,[13] flea beetle,[13] flies,[13] imported cabbageworm,[13] squash bugs,[13] mice Toxic to people and many animals, don't plant it where livestock browse. Is reputed to generally repel insects (except for nectar-eating types).

Alfalfa Medicago sativa Cotton Assassin bug, big-eyed bug, ladybug, parasitic wasps Lygus bugs Tomatoes,[75] fava beans Used by farmers to reduce cotton pests, a good crop to improve soil; fixes nitrogen like beans do. Also breaks up hardpan and other tough soil. Alfalfa has demonstrated some allelopathic effects to tomato seedlings[75]
Peanut Arachis hypogaea Beans, corn, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, marigold, melon and sunflower Peanuts encourage growth of corn and squash[81]
Walnut tree Juglans spp. Many types of grass including Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis). European alder (sacrifice plant), hairy vetch,[88] crownvetch,[88] sericea lespedeza[88] Apple trees,[76] grasses[88] Black walnut is harmful to the growth of all nightshade plants, including Datura or Jimson weed, eggplant, mandrake, deadly nightshade or belladonna, capsicum (paprika, chile pepper), potato, tomato, and petunia.
