Notes
'Chocolate Beauty' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Chocolate Beauty') 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, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This pepper is open-pollinated and matures in 75 days.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, Spaghetti Squash, and SuperBlue lavender.
