Birdpepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum)
I like the full sun.
Low water needs.
Size: 3 ft tall x 2.5 ft wide
Bloom Time: Spring
I am a hot and edible native pepper. I thrive in sun and sandy soils. They call me an annual, but if the weather stays warm, I will last for more than a year. I do spread by seed, so you may find me popping up in your yard. The birds like my unripe peppers, especially the mockingbirds. Be careful where you plant me if you have children, I don’t want them to eat my orange and red peppers and be surprised by the heat.
