Plants That Thrive Next to Lavender (And Those That Suffocate It)

By Zenny

Scribbled Underline

Rosemary Both love full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal Mediterranean companions with similar needs.

Thyme Thrives in similar dry, sunny conditions and adds another layer of fragrance to your herb garden.

Sage Shares lavender’s love for heat and drought, and can help deter pests in the garden.

Echinacea (Coneflower) Attracts pollinators just like lavender and grows well in similar soil conditions.

Yarrow A hardy drought-tolerant plant that brings in beneficial insects and doesn't crowd lavender.

Plants That Suffocate or Clash with Lavender: 1. Mint Too aggressive in growth; it quickly overtakes lavender’s space and prefers more moisture.

Hostas Shade- and moisture-loving, making them incompatible with lavender’s dry, sunny preferences.

Camellias Prefer acidic, moist soils and shade—exactly the opposite of what lavender needs.
