Notes

'Botan Kosho Chili Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Botan Kosho Chili 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. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
