Notes

'Bastan' poblano pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Bastan') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The peppers are ready in 65 days.

Pairs well with Smoothie cucumber, Holy basil, Salad burnet, and Honeoye strawberry.
