Notes

'Kalugeritsa Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Kalugeritsa 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 attracts butterflies, bees, and birds, and it tolerates drought.

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