Notes
'Corno di Toro Rosso' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Corno di Toro Rosso') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and accents. 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant grows erect, blooms from early to late summer, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Parsley, Oregano, and Siberian kale.
