Notes
'Santo Domingo' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Santo Domingo') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The peppers mature in 62 days, and birds visit the plants.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Diva cucumber, and Cannellini bean.
