Notes
'Islander' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Islander') 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 rarely make it their first choice. The fruit has light lavender skin and pale yellow flesh.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green Zebra tomato, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
