'Jigsaw Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Jigsaw Hot Pepper') 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 or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It draws butterflies, bees, and birds, and it tolerates drought.

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