Pepper Orange Sun Sweet - Salt Spring Seeds

Capsicum annuum

Deliciously sweet, ripening from green to vibrant orange, 4-inch bell peppers on 2ft plants. The 3 to 4 lobed radiant orange fruits have thickish walls and are great for stuffing. Equally delicious fresh from the garden, in salads, grilled or roasted. Yum! 15 seeds or more.

Start indoors in a warm location 8-10 weeks before setting out. Sow seeds in flats or pots or prepared mix, 1/4 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Keep soil moist but not soggy and provide a strong light source as soon as feelings appear. Transplant when seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves into individual pots or deep flats. Acclimate seedlings gradually to outdoor conditions when summery weather prevails, then set out 203 feet apart in rich, well-drained soil.
