The Beneficial Companion Plants Collection includes one package of each of the following varieties. Click on any variety for more product information;
Queen Sophia Marigold - A very fragrant scented floral that keeps many pests like white flies away from your tomatoes and peppers. Pesky mosquitoes will also stay away so you can garden in peace!
Wormwood - A strongly scented herb that can deter aphids and flea beetles from attacking neighbouring plants. Its yellow flowers attract hoverflies, lacewings and ladybirds, which prey on aphids.
Common Chives - When planted alongside carrots, its strong scent confuses and deters the carrot root fly which can smell carrots from up to a mile away.
Cilantro - Discourages potato beetles, attracts hoverflies and can be made into a tea to formulate a spray used to eradicate spider mites.
Dmytro's Ukrainian Dill - Attracts beneficial ladybugs, which eat aphids. Dill is also a food source for caterpillars and butterflies.
Gigante di Napoli Parsley - Attracts beneficial insects to protect and pollinate tomatoes. Plant this herb between tomatoes.
German Chamomile - Known for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal benefits, chamomile also improves the growth and flavour of many plants. Gardeners have long used chamomile as a companion plant in their fruit orchards. Plant next to species of the Brassica Family such as broccoli, cabbage, kale, turnip etc.
Alaska Nasturtium Mix - A perfect trap crop for greenhouse pests such as aphids and whiteflies. Also a great companion plant for tomatoes, cucumbers and Brassicas. Cucumber beetles are not a fan of Nasturtiums!
Greek Oregano - Attracts beneficial insects and pollinators that will deter whiteflies, aphids, cabbage moth caterpillars, and many other predators in the garden.
