Notes

'Arapaho' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Arapaho') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This hybrid is ready to pick about 70 days after planting. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and SuperBlue lavender.
