In the Kitchen and Garden

Enjoy these small peppers fresh as snacks, slice them into salads, or add them to a vegetable platter. Roast or sauté a handful for colorful side dishes. Their compact habit also makes them a useful edible accent alongside flowers and herbs.

Planting and Growing

Start seeds indoors in a warm, sunny spot or under grow lights 7–8 weeks before your last expected spring frost. Sow approximately ¼ inch deep and keep the seed-starting mix evenly moist. Harden seedlings off gradually, then transplant after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed.

Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Allow approximately 18–24 inches between plants for room around the bushy canopy. Loosen the soil, mix in a suitable plant fertilizer according to its label, and water thoroughly. For containers, choose a roomy pot with drainage rather than a small six-inch pot for a full-season crop.

Keep soil evenly moist without waterlogging, remove competing weeds, and feed according to fertilizer directions. For square foot gardening, use 1 plant per sq ft (allow canopy room beyond the square). Published descriptions report tobacco mosaic virus resistance; resistance is not immunity.

Harvest by cutting peppers from the plant with clean scissors or pruners, leaving a short stem attached. Full-sized green peppers can be picked, or left to develop color and fuller sweetness. Fruits on the same plant can be at different stages; multiple colors do not mean every pepper is equally ripe. Saved seed will not reliably reproduce the original F1 hybrid.
