Notes

'Cornito Giallo' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Cornito Giallo') 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. It is a half-size Corno di Toro, so it suits smaller spaces. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Holy basil, Armenian cucumber, and Salad burnet.
