Notes
'Sprinter' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sprinter') 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, loamy, or clay soil. Fruit is ready about 60 days after planting. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Lemon cucumber, and Cannellini bean.
