Notes
'Sweet Sunrise' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sweet Sunrise') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The blocky, dark green bell ripens to yellow and orange.
Pairs well with Mountain Magic tomato, Holy basil, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
