Notes
'Helios' habanero pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Helios') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It tolerates dry spells and matures in about 67 days. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Celebrity Plus tomato, and Asparagus.
