Sweet frying peppers with flavor that deepens
This productive pepper develops slender, 5–6-inch fruits with light green skin, thin walls, and a mild, sweet flavor. The peppers are excellent for frying, roasting, stuffing, or enjoying fresh. Leave them on the plant until they turn red for an even sweeter taste.
Its upright, manageable growth fits easily into sunny vegetable beds, raised gardens, or large containers. Along with a useful harvest, the changing fruit color adds seasonal interest to edible landscapes and patio plantings. This product is Certified Organic by Clemson University.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Set outdoors after frost danger has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F. Plant in full sun and rich, well-drained soil, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart. For containers, choose a pot at least 12 inches wide with drainage holes.
2. Watering: Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep moisture consistent, especially during flowering and fruit development, but avoid waterlogged soil. Mulch can help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
3. Pruning: Little pruning is needed. Remove damaged or yellowing leaves and any stems touching the soil. Harvest peppers regularly to encourage continued production, or allow some fruits to ripen fully to red.
4. Fertilizing: Mix compost or a balanced, slow-release vegetable fertilizer into the soil at planting. Once flowering begins, use a fertilizer formulated for tomatoes and peppers, avoiding excess nitrogen that can produce leafy growth with fewer fruits.
