Notes
'Nitro' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Nitro') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant stands erect and grows at a moderate pace, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Armenian cucumber, and Black Beans bean.
