Notes
'Emerald Fire' hot pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Emerald Fire') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and annual beds. 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The plant grows 36 to 39 inches tall, bears white flowers from early to late summer, and attracts birds.
Pairs well with Rosa Bianca eggplant, Purple Ruffles basil, and Button flower.
