Notes
'Bolivian Rainbow' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Bolivian Rainbow') is a vegetable for borders, accents, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms from early to late summer and is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Parsley, Oregano, and Siberian kale.
