Notes
'Anaheim Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Anaheim Hot 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thyme.
