Notes

'Holy Mole' hot pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Holy Mole') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and annual beds. 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Eggplant, Purple Ruffles basil, and Button flower.
