What To Plant Near Cilantro

If you’re a gardener, you know that cilantro is one of the most common herbs used in cooking and a great addition to any herb garden. Cilantro is easy to grow, but its short life makes harvesting it difficult to time right. In this post, we’ll discuss how to use companion planting with cilantro so that your crops last longer and get better protection from pests.

Shrubs

Some shrubs you might consider for your cilantro garden:

• Almond (Prunus amygdalus)
• Apple (Malus spp.)
• Fig (Ficus carica)
• Peach (Prunus persica)
• Plum (Prunus domestica, P. americana)
• Apricot (P. armeniaca, Arilocarpus kathalensis)
• Cherry trees are also great choices for planting near cilantro plants; they provide a lot of shade during the hottest part of summer and their blossoms will attract bees to pollinate your herbs!

Flowers

Flowers are a good choice for planting near cilantro. Flowers can help attract beneficial insects to your garden, which will eat pests and keep them away. They can also help to keep cilantro fresh, as well as attracting pollinators to your garden. Some flowers that work well with cilantro include:

• Mexican sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia)
• Marigold (Tagetes spp.)

Vegetable Garden

Plant cilantro near tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other plants that are susceptible to pests.

Tomatoes and peppers will benefit from cilantro’s strong scent, which deters insects from attacking their leaves. Eggplants are also vulnerable to spider mites and aphids; the latter of which is a common pest for plants in the carrot family (including carrots). While cilantro does not provide much protection from nematodes—the microscopic worms that cause several diseases in vegetables—it does help with soil health by adding nitrogen to the soil. This helps keep your vegetable garden healthy overall.

Cilantro needs at least six hours of sunlight each day for optimal growth. Planting it near other sun-loving vegetables like cucumbers or melons can help ensure they get enough light on overcast days or early mornings before the sun rises high enough in the sky to reach those particular areas where they are planted. Cilantro grows best when planted in full sun locations but can tolerate partial shade if needed as long as there’s still some direct sunlight during part of each day.

Herbs

Herbs are plants with a strong aroma and flavor. It’s true that cilantro is an herb, but it’s also important to note that herbs are not just used for cooking. They’re grown for their leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots as well. Herbs can be used in teas; oils; vinegars; or other consumable products such as cosmetics or shampoos.

Other Plants

Other plants that go well with cilantro include:

• Basil
• Parsley
• Oregano

Cilantro attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies, ladybugs and parasitic wasps to your garden, so it helps control pest populations when planted near other plants that need protection.

Cilantro is a great plant to have in your garden, as it attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies, ladybugs and parasitic wasps to your garden. These beneficial insects help control pest populations when planted near other plants that need protection. So if you’re looking for some veggies that will attract those helpful bugs, here are some suggestions:

Herbs like parsley, mint, dill and other herbs with a similar flavor profile can be planted in close proximity to cilantro without affecting their growth habits or flavor profiles. These herbs all contain aromatic oils that are attractive to beneficial insects and they’ve been shown to enhance the production of essential oils when planted near each other.

Plants like alyssum (Lobularia maritima), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and basil (Ocimum spp.) all produce flowers which provide nectar for pollinators such as bees while also attracting predators that eat pests such as aphids or caterpillars who would otherwise feed on the leaves of these fragrant flowering plants!

With all these tips on hand, you’re ready to get growing! To recap, here are some of the top things to keep in mind when planting near cilantro:

• Space your plants out so they have room to grow.
• Consider the kind of soil and environment you want for your garden.
• Make sure you understand what type of plant you’re growing.
• Don’t plant too close together or too tightly grouped—this can lead to overcrowding and disease.
