Notes
'Paisan' pepperoncini pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Paisan') 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. The peppers reach maturity in 60 days, and birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Armenian cucumber, and Black Beans bean.
