What to Plant with Lavender

Here’s everything you need to know about what to plant with lavender. Because lavender tolerates hot, dry conditions, you’ll want to plant lavender with companion plants that have similar needs.

The idea of companion planting is based on the theory that certain plants may help each other absorb nutrients better, keep bugs away or attract beneficial pollinators.

In the case of lavender, it’s believed that its somewhat fuzzy texture and strong scent keep away bad bugs and attract good ones.
