Sweet Pepper: Sweet Yellow Stuffing Pepper

These peppers produce a large crop of small bright yellow sweet peppers which are great for stuffing with your favourite savoury mix or soft cheese. They grow best with some protection.

16 seeds per pack.

Botanical name: Capsicum annum

Seed Story: These sweet miniature bell peppers from Pennsylvania grow on small bushes, the fruit being only 3 –-5cm in size but, as their name suggests, they can be stuffed to form tasty appetisers, although they can also be pickled or grilled!

Sow the seeds in a seed tray and lightly cover them with sieved compost. Keep the seeds warm and moist – a propagator is ideal. When sprouts appear move them to a sunny window or heated greenhouse to grow on. When the seedlings have formed their first true leaves then prick them out into individual pots and pot on as required. These plants grow best with some protection in a greenhouse or cold frame Peppers need rich moist soil and warm sunny conditions to flourish. Best sown in very early spring (February or the beginning of March at the latest) as these plants need a long growing season.
