Notes

'Sangria' ornamental pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sangria') is a vegetable for borders, accents, and low maintenance gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms from early to late summer, attracts birds, and is drought tolerant.

Pairs well with Pincushion flower, Lemon balm, and Salad burnet.
