Notes

'Sweet Sunset F1' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Sweet Sunset F1') 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. Its upright habit grows at a moderate pace, and birds visit the plant. It sits low on the menu for deer.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Holy basil.
