Notes

'Jalapeño Brown Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Jalapeño Brown Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It is drought tolerant and draws butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Holy basil.
