Notes
'Olympus' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Olympus') 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, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. You grow it for large, flavorful bell peppers.
Pairs well with Lemon cucumber, Holy basil, Salad burnet, and Honeoye strawberry.
