Notes

'Spicy Slice' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Spicy Slice') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This hybrid matures in about 60 days. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Diva cucumber, and Cranberry bean.
