Notes
'Sweet Moruga Sweet Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Sweet Moruga Sweet Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows about 48 inches tall and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Holy basil.
