Notes

'Ojeenmma Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Ojeenmma Hot Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the fragrant blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
