Sweet Heat Hot Pepper, Heirloom Seeds

Sweet Heat Hot Pepper, Heirloom Seeds — Mild Kick, Maximum Flavor at Just ~300 SHU

Not all heat is created equal — and Sweet Heat proves it. Registering around just 300 Scoville Heat Units (about the same as a mild Sweet Banana pepper), this approachable hot pepper is perfect for gardeners who want a little warmth without the fire. Compact 3–4-inch pods ripen from green to a rich red, offering a sweet, flavorful heat that works beautifully fresh, pickled, or roasted.

Why Grow Sweet Heat?

• Mild heat — ~300 SHU — approachable for heat-sensitive palates
• 3–4-inch pods — compact, versatile size for fresh eating and preserving
• Green to red ripening — harvest at either stage for different flavor profiles
• Fast to harvest — ready in just 55–60 days
• Open-pollinated — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start 6–10 weeks before last frost indoors. Sow 2–3 seeds ¼ inch deep per cell in fertile, well-draining soil. Harden off and transplant 12–18 inches apart in early summer. Harvest green for milder flavor or wait for full red ripeness.
