Notes
'Santa Fe Grande Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Santa Fe Grande Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
