Notes

'Orange Lesya Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Orange Lesya 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 or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows 24 to 59 inches tall and draws butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
