60 Days to Maturity. Certified Organic.
Early yields of pale yellow peppers that ripen to vibrant red. Relatively thick walls for a hot pepper make for excellent roasting, grilling, fermenting and pickling, and stuffing. Also an excellent choice for making a spicy paprika once red by drying (try drying after pickling for a tangy and spicy paprika). These peppers produce an abundance of fruit on 30" tall plants.
Transplant. Sow indoors about 6 weeks before last frost date and plant out right before first flowers open (but do not pinch buds). 30" plants yield prolifically but can be sensitive to foliar disease; protect from rain or encourage good airflow for longer yields.

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.
