Notes
'Bell Boy' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Bell Boy') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Birds visit it, and it tolerates dry spells.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
