Notes

'Lemon Drop Hot Pepper' (Capsicum baccatum 'Lemon Drop Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it is drought tolerant once settled in.

Pairs well with Margarita cucumber, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Palm sedge.
