Notes
'Ancho' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Ancho') 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, loamy, or clay soil. The plants are erect and grow at a moderate rate. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, and Salad burnet.
