Capsicum annuum
Sustainably Grown Seed
Just like its namesake, this little pepper can light a big fire-in your mouth. Small fruits in light greens, yellow greens, and reds completely cover the sprawling, low-growing, bushy plants, which have attractive, deep green, semi-glossy leaves. It only takes one match to light a fire, and just one of these little peppers will lend a fruity and flavorful heat to any dish. If you like it hot, two will crackle, three will smoke, and four will blaze!

How to grow: Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant 3 weeks after last frost. Requires heat for germination, which can take 10-14 days. Transplant once weather has settled, usually 2 weeks after tomatoes have been transplanted (peppers will tolerate earlier transplanting but won't grow much).
