Notes
'Spitfire' anaheim pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Spitfire') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The peppers mature in 65 days, and birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Suyo Long cucumber, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and Thai basil.
