Notes
'King Arthur' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'King Arthur') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Gardeners grow it for early production of large green or red bells.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green Zebra tomato, Straight-8 cucumber, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
