Notes

'Bananarama' sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Bananarama') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows 18 to 24 inches tall and blooms from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Seychelles bean, Bible hyssop, and Artichoke.
