Purple basil helps repel garden pests, provides dense ground cover and traps heat and moisture for peppers. Plus, they both thrive in warm weather and have similar needs for soil type, pH, sunlight and water. Grow them together in-ground or in containers right on your patio! #awakenyourgarden #bonnieplants #companionplants #purplebasil #basil #peppergardening #herbs #veggiegarden #gardenersofinstagram
