Notes
'Habanero' habanero pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Habanero') 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for its hot peppers, which ripen about 100 days after planting. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Spaghetti Squash, Salad burnet, and Tarragon.
