Notes

'Highlander' anaheim pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Highlander') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit the plant, and it handles dry spells well.

Pairs well with Thai basil, Lemon cucumber, and Cannellini bean.
