Notes

'Twingo' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Twingo') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It is a hybrid that matures in about 65 days.

Pairs well with Genovese basil, Red Sails lettuce, and Cranberry bean.
