Notes
'Mexican Sunset F1' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Mexican Sunset F1') 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 sits low on the menu for deer. Birds visit it, and it tolerates dry spells.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Genovese basil.
