Notes

'Holiday Time' ornamental pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Holiday Time') is a vegetable for borders, accents, and food gardens. 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms from early to late summer and attracts birds.

Pairs well with Oregano, Salad burnet, and Ashy sunflower.
