85 Days to Maturity. Certified Organic.
Abundant producer of 7-9" sweet and red Italian frying peppers. Great for roasting, salads, and snacking.
Transplant. Sow 6-8 weeks before last frost. Plants may benefit from staking as they set an abundance of fruit. Likes rich soil but do not overfertilize or plants will drop blossoms and leaves may curl. Can be cooked green on pizzas etc., but for best flavor begin harvesting when pepper turns 80% red. Some straight peppers and some curled.
Seed Source Information:
Lot # CO-OG-1128-2023: Grown by Circadian Organics in Ferryville, WI in 2023. Tested >80% germination in 2023. We suspect this variety is germinating below our target of 90% because of isolation netting to prevent cross pollination. It has generally low seed yield. A difficult variety to grow for seed, but low seed yield means great fresh eating!
Hot and Sweet Pepper Growing Resources
The Midwest, with its unique combination of diverse topographies, microclimates, soil types, and weather patterns, presents a distinct set of growing challenges. At Driftless Seed Supply, our deep understanding of these conditions, honed by years of experience as Midwest growers, informs every seed we produce.
Generations of seed production, coupled with rigorous trialing in partnership with regional farmers, have enabled us to offer seeds that are exceptionally well-suited to the Midwest's unique growing environment.
Our commitment goes beyond just supplying seeds. We strive to ensure that Midwest farmers and gardeners like you have access to seeds that are not only well-adapted to our region but also capable of producing outstanding yields. Each generation of seeds we cultivate here in the Midwest—rather than in distant, climatically different regions—enhances the adaptability and performance of our varieties, setting them apart from those offered by many other seed companies.
Additionally, our collaboration with small local farms for most of our seed production is a testament to our dedication to strengthening the Midwest's food system. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also avoids the need to rely on large-scale production facilities in distant locations, whether out West or abroad.
We ship anywhere in the lower 48 states of the US via USPS.
All sales are final and we do not accept returns or exchanges except in the case of delivering the wrong item or recalling specific seed lots due to contamination. For wholesale customers who purchase our pre-filled bundles, we will provide a credit for the following season’s order for any packets returned by October 1st.
