Know before you buy
These peppers typically take 100 days to reach maturity from the time of planting. Given this longer growing season, it is best to start them early in the spring.
No, these plants are not recommended for container gardening. They require the space and soil depth provided by an in-ground garden bed to thrive.
These peppers require a location with full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. When planting, space your seeds 18 to 24 inches apart to ensure adequate airflow and room for the plants to mature.
While these seeds are non-GMO and open-pollinated, they are not certified organic. They are, however, sustainably grown in the USA.
This heirloom variety is known for being mild, sweet, and fruity. Its smooth texture makes it an excellent choice for fresh snacking, roasting, or pickling.
Each packet contains approximately 10 seeds.
