There are a few things to keep in mind when companion planting. First, you need to consider the needs of your plants. Some plants need full sun, while others prefer partial shade. Some plants need rich soil, while others can tolerate poor soil.
You also need to consider the height of your plants. Tall plants should be planted behind shorter plants so that they don't shade them out.
