Notes

'Black Hungarian Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Black Hungarian 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. Its fragrant flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Holy basil.
