Notes
'Chocolate Habanero Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Chocolate Habanero 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it tolerates dry spells.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
