Notes

'Yankee Bell' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Yankee Bell') 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 pass it by. This open-pollinated bell pepper suits Northern growers.

Pairs well with Thai basil, Red Sails lettuce, and Navy bean.
