Notes

'Windsor A' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Windsor A') 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, loamy, or clay soil. It grows upright and tolerates dry spells. Birds visit the plant.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Purple Ruffles basil.
