Notes
'Sonoma' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sonoma') 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. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It has TSWV resistance for the West, and it gets yellow flowers.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, and Spaghetti Squash.
