Notes
'Dutch Treat' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Dutch Treat') 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, loamy, or clay soil. It is drought tolerant and attracts birds. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
