Seed Savers Miniature Red Bell Pepper (Organic)

Short, stocky plants covered with lovely 2" long miniature bell peppers with an excellent fresh flavor. A friend gave Seed Savers Exchange member Lucina Cress of Ohio the yellow and red versions. She stuffed the peppers with cabbage, pickled and canned them to sell at her church bazaar. Great for salads.

Bell peppers are sweetest when they mature to a full color, but the crunchy green flesh is a great addition to many savory dishes. You can stuff these peppers with cabbage, then pickle them, or toss raw peppers in a salad.

Roast your red peppers over a burner or under a broiler, then peel and puree with hummus or slice and add to grilled eggplant and mozzarella sandwiches with fresh basil.

Instructions - Sow seeds indoors ¼” deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.

• Start Indoors: 8 weeks before last frost
• Germination: 14 Days
• Plant Outdoors: 12-24” Apart
• Light: Full Sun
