A compact pepper with a season-long harvest
This dwarf sweet pepper produces a steady supply of fresh peppers throughout the growing season. It performs reliably even in regions with cooler summers, making it a practical choice where longer-season pepper varieties may struggle.
Its compact, bushy habit fits neatly into sunny garden beds, raised beds, and patio containers. Along with crisp, sweet harvests for fresh eating and cooking, it brings productive greenery to smaller outdoor spaces without taking over.

That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Space it where air can circulate freely, or grow it in a container with drainage holes and quality potting mix. Plant after the danger of frost has passed.
2. Watering: Water deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep moisture consistent while flowers and peppers are developing, but avoid leaving the roots in soggy soil. Container-grown plants may need more frequent watering during warm weather.
3. Pruning: Little pruning is required. Remove yellowed or damaged leaves and harvest peppers regularly to encourage continued production. If branches become heavy with fruit, provide a small stake or cage for support.
4. Fertilizing: Mix compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer into the soil at planting. Feed container plants periodically with a fertilizer formulated for vegetables, following label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote leafy growth at the expense of peppers.
