Notes

'Lesya Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Lesya Sweet Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
