Notes

'Buena Mulata Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Buena Mulata Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it stays 6 to 7 inches tall.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
