Notes
'Cupid' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Cupid') 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 sits low on the menu for deer. The plant bears early, sweet, mini bell peppers, and birds visit it too.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Cherry Belle radish, and Honeoye strawberry.
