Notes
'Orange Bell Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Orange Bell 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees and butterflies visit its blooms, and it handles dry spells fairly well.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
