Notes
'Lunchbox Pepper Mix' snack pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Lunchbox Pepper Mix') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The mix gives you all three colors in one planting.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Straight-8 cucumber, and Honeoye strawberry.
