Notes

'Lunchbox Orange' snack pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Lunchbox Orange') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. You can grow it for sweet, flavorful orange snack peppers.

Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Dark Opal basil, and SuperBlue lavender.
