Notes
'Shishito Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Shishito Sweet 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers, and the plant is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, Holy basil, and Scallion green onion.
