Notes
'Red Savina Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Red Savina 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the plants.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dolce Fresca basil.
