Notes
'X3R Red Knight' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'X3R Red Knight') 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This improved King Arthur type grows upright and bears red blooms.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Green bean, and Asparagus.
