Notes

'Black Hawk F1' ornamental pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Black Hawk F1') is a vegetable for borders, accents, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms from early to late summer, and birds visit it.

Pairs well with Oregano, Diva cucumber, and Salad burnet.
