Notes

'Banana Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Banana Sweet 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. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and the flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
