Notes
'Red Flame' cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Red Flame') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fruits ripen in 60 days from transplanting. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and SuperBlue lavender.
