ladyapple27I like to work veggies into my flower borders. Instead of a regular ornamental pepper, I put Fish Pepper in my borders; its fruit is more useful than that of the ornamentals. You can use it like cayenne.
Fish Pepper is an African-American heirloom once used around Philladelphia and the Chesapeake Bay to season shellfish. It is lovely-in the right conditions, the leaves are variegated white and green. The peppers start out white and green striped, then become orange with lighter or darker stripes, and finish red. A beautiful show!
