Notes
'Jalapeño' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Jalapeño') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. White flowers appear on erect plants, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Green bean, Potato, and Salad burnet.
