'Ozark Giant Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Ozark Giant Sweet Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, and it tolerates dry spells. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
