Sweet Alyssum makes a perfect living mulch between pepper plants. 🌿🌶️ It shades the soil, prevents weeds, adds beauty, increases biodiversity, and attracts beneficial insects and pollinators to the garden. I like to use a dwarf variety that stays low to the ground and forms small mounds like a ground cover. I start the seeds indoors in early spring at the same time that I start spring veggies like celery, onions, and parsley. Sweet Alyssum is a slow grower and it needs this head start in order
