Notes
'Red Baron' sweet bell pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Red Baron') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and low maintenance plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It blooms from early to late summer and attracts birds.
Pairs well with Mountain Magic tomato, Holy basil, and Marketmore 76 cucumber.
