Pepper, Bull Nose Bell

Choose a sweet heirloom that’s been in the Americas since the time of Thomas Jefferson! The Bullnose Pepper (Capsicum annuum) turns red as it ripens and is renowned for the blocky shape, crisp texture and excellent taste. 70 days to maturity. Here are our best tips for Growing Peppers, too!

Each packet contains approximately 50 seeds.

Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Crops require full sun, fast draining soil and regular water. Peppers grow best when temperatures are warm and need substantial heat to set fruit. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or, depending on your climate zone, sow directly in the garden after the soil has warmed. Allow 1-1/2 feet between plants in all directions; provide support for varieties that grow over one foot tall.

Harvest fruits early and often — the more you pick the more they will produce. Always cut — do NOT pull — fruits from plants. Most varieties can be eaten when green or under-ripe, however, the flavor improves as plants mature.
