Description:
Looking for that sensationally-sweet bell pepper taste with just the right amount of heat to go with it? Look no further than the Sweet Heat pepper! The flavor is comparable to the Italian Pepperoncini - sweet and sugary but with a mild spiciness, you don't normally get with most bell pepper varieties.
Regarded as one of the earliest producers of fruits, these plants are compact and bushy and produce high yields of 4" long red bell peppers. Watch as these fruits mature from green to vibrant red. While these peppers would look great in any garden, they can also work in containers, hanging baskets, and on your patio.
You can eat Sweet Heat peppers at either the green or red stages of maturity. They are a great choice for grilling or for making homemade salsa. You can also eat these fresh or use them in salads.
