Notes

Padrón pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Pimiento De Padron Hot Pepper') 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. Its flowers attract butterflies and bees, so it adds life to the garden as well as peppers to the kitchen.

Pairs well with Sweet corn, Pumpkin, and Tarragon.
