General Information : Ripe peppers are ready to harvest just 56 days from transplant. 'Sweet Heat' peppers are sweet and mildly spicy like pepperoncini, with a great smoky flavour. ‘Sweet Heat’ can be harvested green or red, and is perfect for grilling or salsa.

Idea & Tips : Water in moderation the soil must drain well. Peppers don't tolerate saturated soil that waterlogs their roots. Don't overfertilize. Use mulch to prevent excessive evaporation from the soil during the dry summer months. For support, loosely tie the plants to stakes using rubber bands to allow for the expansion that comes with growing.
