Notes

'Big Bertha' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Big Bertha') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. This pepper is grown for stuffing, grilling, fresh eating, and salads. The thick-walled fruit can reach seven inches long and has few seeds.

Pairs well with Big Beef tomato, Lemon basil, and French lavender.
