Notes

'Witch Stick' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Witch Stick') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The hybrid plants mature in about 70 days and stand erect.

Pairs well with Holy basil, Green bean, and Fennel.
