Notes
'Holiday Cheer' ornamental pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Holiday Cheer') is a vegetable for borders, accents, and low maintenance gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late summer, tolerates drought, and draws birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Strawberry foxglove, Salad burnet, and Egyptian walking onion.
