Notes
'Anaheim' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Anaheim') 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 to full shade and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. White flowers attract bees, and birds also visit the plant.
Pairs well with Thyme, Holy basil, and Society garlic.
