Notes
'Mad Hatter' bishop's crown pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Mad Hatter') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, borders, and accent planting. 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 needs 85 days to reach maturity and tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Holy basil, and Butternut squash.
