Notes
'Olly' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Olly') 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 is an early red bell pepper that suits tunnel or field production. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Dark Opal basil, and Iceberg lettuce.
