Notes

'Sailfish' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sailfish') 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, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. This bell pepper ripens quickly and has resistance to phytophthora.

Pairs well with Genovese basil, Green bean, and SuperBlue lavender.
