Glossary of Terms: 

Annual plants are those that only grow for one long season and die with the onset of frost

Disease resistant are varieties bred to have more resistance to common pepper disease that often affect the life span and viability of the plant

Heat resistant varieties hold up in the summer heat and are slow to bolt and put on flowers rather than vegetation

Heirlooms are a variety of a plant grown and maintained by gardeners and farmers for generations assuring the plant doesn’t cross with others so the flavor can be passed down for generations

Ornamental varieties have an especially appealing visual due to exuberant color of the peppers and an attractive growing habit, in addition to producing lovely edibles

Perennial plants are those that live in the soil over winters and return and regrow the following years

Pollinator attractor plants provide easily accessible pollen for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators and are therefore, more attractive and sought after by pollinators as a dependable food source that they will continue to come back to

 Looking to grow in containers this year?

Herbs are adaptable and tend to fill the container they are put in, 5 gallon minimum, but larger will provide a better harvest.
