Notes
'Puma Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Puma 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 and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Genovese basil.
