Notes
'Altiplano' serrano pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Altiplano') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Peppers reach maturity in 57 days.
Pairs well with Cherry Belle radish, Holy basil, and Smoothie cucumber.
