Notes
'Mellow Star' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Mellow Star') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The peppers reach maturity in 60 days.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, and Fennel.
