Notes
'Prism' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Prism') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, borders, and accents. 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. Birds visit the plant, and it stands up straight and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Diva cucumber, and Cannellini bean.
