Notes
'Fish Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Fish 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. Deer tend to pass it by. The plants reach 24 to 59 inches tall and attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
