Notes

'Bull Nose Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Bull Nose Sweet 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is fragrant and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.

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