want a productive, low-heat pepper built for sauteing, frying, and roasting. Who it's for Perfect for cooks who love fried and roasted peppers, and for gardeners who want an abundant, easy sweet pepper that matures a little faster than a bell. How & when to plant Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost, 1/4 inch deep in warm soil (70–85°F). Transplant after nights hold above 55°F, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Grows well in USDA zones 4–11 as a warm-season annual. Harvest Fruits reach picking size about 65–75 days from transplant when pale green, or leave them to ripen red for extra sweetness. Cut fruit from the plant with pruners to protect the brittle branches. Benefits & uses Cubanelle is very mild — typically 0–500 Scoville, essentially sweet — with thin walls that fry and blister fast. Use it for classic peppers-and-onions, sandwiches, sauces, and roasting. Growing guide: New to this variety?
