Notes

'Roulette' habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense 'Roulette') is a vegetable for food gardens and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. Give it full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The erect plants reach 36 to 39 inches tall and attract birds.

Pairs well with Sunset Torch F1 tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, Hollyhock, and Cilantro.
