Notes
'Tobago Seasoning Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Tobago Seasoning Hot Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its fragrant flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds, and the plant handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Berggarten sage.
