Notes

'Yellow Seven Pot Hot Pepper' (Capsicum chinense 'Yellow Seven Pot Hot Pepper') 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 or loamy soil. It grows 12 to 36 inches tall and draws butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Lemon basil.
