Notes

'Goddess' banana pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Goddess') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Peppers are ready to pick about 63 days after planting.

Pairs well with Thai basil, Smoothie cucumber, and Cherry Belle radish.
