Companion plant lists???

19 years ago

I recently started turning my horticultural knowledge into actual green by starting a landscaping company. I remember a book I had/have that lists plants and companion plants that enhance each other or grow better with certain companion plants. Do you all know of any sources for such information? I can't seem to locate my book. I am insterested in landscaping plants not edibles. In the mean while I will continue to puruse through my library of gardening and horticultural information. If you are located in the Columbia, SC area...please call on me for advice, CAD Master landscape plans, landscape design, or simple Q@A. I do have a landscape design certificate and am curently working in my Horticultural Certificate. 803-319-0675 if you are in the Columbia, SC area. Thanks all and Happy Gardening. Another great green summer is right around the corner.

Try this site for perennials. It lists companions as part of the perennial descriptions. Keep in mind that their bloom periods may not match when things bloom in your zone.
