Notes
'Peppermint Stick' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Peppermint Stick') is a vegetable for containers, borders, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Mountain Magic tomato, Oregano, and Cat's Pajamas nepeta.
