Notes
'Mariachi F1' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Mariachi F1') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows upright at a moderate pace and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
