Notes

'Nadapeño Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Nadapeño Sweet Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant tolerates drought and draws butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
