Notes
'Amaretto' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Amaretto') 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. The peppers are ready about 60 days after planting. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Straight-8 cucumber, and Fennel.
