Sweet Cherry Pepper Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

fun, versatile pepper that shines in the jar and on the antipasto plate. Who it's for Great for cooks who love pickled and stuffed peppers, and for gardeners who want a productive, ornamental-looking pepper for canning and snacking. How & when to plant Start indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost, sowing 1/4 inch deep in warm soil (70–85°F). Transplant after nights stay above 55°F, spacing 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Grows in USDA zones 4–11 as a warm-season annual. Harvest Fruits ripen deep red about 75–80 days from transplant. Pick them firm and glossy, cutting from the plant with pruners. Note that some cherry-pepper strains carry a little heat, so taste before assuming they are fully sweet. Benefits & uses This sweet cherry type is generally very mild (roughly 0–500 Scoville) and is perfect stuffed with cheese, pickled whole, or added to antipasto and salads. The round shape holds fillings beautifully. Growing guide: New to this variety? Read our full guide, How to Grow Sweet Red Cherry Pepper From Seed , for step by step sowing, spacing, and harvest tips.
