Notes
'Habanada Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Habanada Sweet Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it tolerates dry spells. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Lime basil.
