Notes

'Ajvarski Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Ajvarski Sweet Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows about 48 inches tall and draws butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
