Notes
'Cornito Rosso' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Cornito Rosso') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a half-size version of Corno di Toro, so it suits smaller spaces. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and SuperBlue lavender.
