Notes
'Ghost' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Ghost') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The plant takes 100 days to mature, and it is drought tolerant once settled in.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Armenian cucumber, Black Beans bean, and SuperBlue lavender.
