Notes
'Jalafuego' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Jalafuego') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The erect plants reach maturity in 70 days, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and SuperBlue lavender.
