Prefers a good light soil that is not too light or acid[1], growing poorly in light acid soils[200].

A good companion plant, especially for growing near roses, tomatoes, carrots, chives and asparagus[18, 20, 54, 201], giving them all added vigour and protection against certain pests, especially carrot root fly and rose beetles[201].
