Notes

'SVPS0953' snack pepper (Capsicum annuum 'SVPS0953') is a vegetable for containers, borders, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. 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 full resistance to bacterial leaf spot.

Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Straight-8 cucumber, and Honeoye strawberry.
