Notes
'Frodo' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Frodo') 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 tend to browse other plants first. It stays small at 5 to 6 inches tall and matures in 62 days.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, and Spaghetti Squash.
