Notes
'Filius Blue Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Filius Blue Hot Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it is drought tolerant. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Hidcote lavender.
