Notes

'California Wonder Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'California Wonder 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. It grows about 2 to 5 feet tall, and its flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

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