Ornamental Pepper

The Ornamental Pepper are annuals that produce colorful little fruit that change color throughout the season. Colors include orange, red, yellow, and purple which accent other fall plant colors wonderfully. The Pepper is cool weather hardy and will hold its fruit until the plant can no longer handle our harsh winter freeze. These annuals excel in patio pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes or ground beds. Place the pepper on the outside of the container or near the edge of the bed to fill out the area. The Ornamental Pepper is grown for its color changing fruit more so then taste. They are not designed to be eaten.

Light: Plant in full sun to part sun, providing at least 5 hours of sunlight for best performance.

Water: Water regularly allowing soil to dry slightly between watering, but not completely dry.

Planting: The Ornamental Pepper can be used as a filler plant in patio pots, other containers, or ground beds. Foliage fills out while producing small colorful upright peppers after blooming.

Deadheading: This plant does not require any deadheading. Remove dead foliage and faded peppers as needed.
