This is a mild pepper with a sweet and apple-like fruity flavor. The body of the pods have some detectable heat, but the wings are sweet and mild. The flesh of each pod is crisp. Ideal for salads, salsas, and stuffed pepper recipes.

Location: Sun

Seeds per pack: 10

Note: All parts of the pepper plant can be poisonous to pets

Germination: These seeds should be fairly easy to germinate! Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of your growing medium, and flatten the surface. Keep moist and warm until germination, which can take about 3-4 weeks. Once seedlings emerge, place the pot in a sunny place, or under bright grow lights. Pepper seeds require an early indoor sowing, especially if you live in a cool climate.
