Notes
'Big Jim Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Big Jim Hot Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it can handle dry spells.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
