Notes
'Trinidad Moruga Scorpion' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Trinidad Moruga Scorpion') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and accents. 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. The seed is open-pollinated, and the plant takes 120 days to mature.
Pairs well with Holy basil, May Night salvia, and Butternut squash.
