Notes
'Early Pimiento' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Early Pimiento') 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows upright, tolerates drought, and attracts birds.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
