Notes
'Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion Caramel Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion Caramel Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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. It spreads 12 to 24 inches, and it attracts butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
