Notes
'Velociraptor' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Velociraptor') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, borders, and accents. 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows upright at a moderate pace and tolerates drought, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, Fennel, and Honeoye strawberry.
