Notes
'Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry') 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, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays 12 to 24 inches tall with an erect habit, so it fits small spaces.
Pairs well with San Marzano tomato, Lime basil, and Eight Ball squash.
