Can Tomatoes Grow Next to Cilantro?

Cilantro and tomatoes not only fit together in culinary terms but also in the tomato garden. Cilantro will need to be replanted several times during the growing season to keep a fresh supply available, which works well with determinate tomatoes.
Container Gardens
Determinate tomatoes work better with cilantro in container gardens. Just make sure that the container is big enough to hold both the tomato plant and the cilantro.
Companion Planting
Tomatoes and cilantro are planted as companion plantings. Cilantro can be interplanted in between tomato plants or in a row along side tomato plants. Tomato plants provide shade for cilantro while cilantro repels aphids from tomatoes.
Apiaceae Family
Cilantro belongs to the apiaceae family that includes many other herbs that are also companions with tomatoes. Companion plants are those that can live together, and for the tomato these include dill, fennel, parsley, and anise. This mutual arrangement of plants can enhance vegetable flavors or provide insect protection.
