This pepper is: SWEET


Bell peppers are sweetest when they mature to a full red, but the crunchy green flesh is a great addition to many savory dishes. You can stuff peppers with quinoa, rice, or a mixture of cheese and beans and bake or cook rings of pepper in a skillet with a fresh egg inside.


Roast your red peppers over a burner or under a broiler, then peel and puree with hummus or slice and add to grilled eggplant and mozzarella sandwiches with fresh basil.

Growing Instructions

Instructions - Sow seeds indoors ¼” deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.

  • Start Indoors: 8 weeks before last frost
  • Germination: 14 Days
  • Plant Outdoors: 12-24” Apart
  • Light: Full Sun

Best We've Ever Eaten!

by

This is the best sweet pepper my family has ever eaten. We prefer these to anything else for recipes requiring bell peppers. The flavor is absolutely outstanding in our fajitas, on pizza, in gumbo, and in spaghetti sauce.

Excellent red roasting pepper!

I tried a similar pepper this year and I am switching back to these! Great taste, good producer, beautiful red color!

One of my favorites

This is a wonderful pepper! It is great for folks living places with short seasons because you can get a bundle of peppers ripened weeks before frost without cover. Very sweet, fleshy and satisfying!
