Notes
'Black Magic' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Black Magic') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It is extra-dark with traditional checking.
Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Holy basil, and Straight-8 cucumber.
