Ornamental Pepper
Capsicum annuum
Description
Unlike the bigger, veggie garden varieties, ornamental peppers have been bred for their looks rather than flavor. They are perfect for stunning fall planters and containers. They produce fruits in a rainbow of colors and shapes. They do not like extreme heat and can get sun burnt, so its best to plant them where they will be in shade during the hot afternoon. Zones 10-11
