Notes
'Gourmet' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Gourmet') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, borders, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It bears bright orange fruits and attracts birds. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Black Cherry tomato, and May Night salvia.
