Notes
'Sargento' poblano pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sargento') 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 browse other plants first. It takes 65 days to maturity, and birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Smoothie cucumber, and Cherry Belle radish.
