Notes
'Peppermint Chard' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Peppermint Chard') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, borders, and accents. 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 browse other plants first. 'Peppermint Chard' matures in 55 days and grows from open-pollinated seed.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Green bean, and Oregano.
