These peppers may be harvested from the green stage through the color changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to tropical America, these annuals had been grown and selected by Native Americans since pre-history times. In fact, their specific region of origin is still unknown due to distribution by man. Peppers became available to Europeans when the new and old worlds connected. Since then, many unique selections have been developed in Europe—particularly in warm Mediterranean countries like Spain, Italy and Greece where they grow well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are bushy plants with rigid, brittle stems and thin, often broad, dark green leaves. Their flowers are inconspicuous, five-petaled and white. Peppers have firm, fleshy, hollow fruits that may be harvested green or allowed to mature to red, orange, yellow, purple-brown, or near ivory, depending on the selection. On the interior they are lined with spongy ribbing which supports many small, flattened, rounded seeds. Bell peppers are all members of the Grossum groups, due to their large size and distinctive shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen fruits have a sharper taste and mature are sweeter, but the heat of a pepper is what most are interested in. Many peppers are spicy hot. Their heat is produced by a chemical called capsaicin measured in units called Scoville units against the Scoville scale (http:\/\/www.chilliworld.com\/FactFile\/Scoville_Scale.asp). The purer the capsaicin, the hotter the pepper and the higher the Scoville rating. Pepper seeds carry more heat than the flesh of the fruit. Still, bell peppers have the lowest heat of all and are almost never spicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBell peppers are warm season vegetables that are easy to grow, if you can provide them with the correct conditions. Full sun, warmth, fertile, perfectly drained soil and regular feeding are required for good growth and fruit production. Peppers generally take 60 to 90 days to harvest. Some vascular wilts and fungal problems can befall them, but overall they are not needy. Proper spacing will keep diseases at bay and help with fruit production, so plant according to the grower’s guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers can be ornamental as well as tasty, so enjoy them as bedding or container plants as well as vegetable garden standbys.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(65, 168, 95);\"\u003eSelect your desired size and color from the available option\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"CARIBBEAN GARDEN SEED","offers":[{"title":"25 Seeds","offer_id":28443251153,"sku":"P21691S","price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":29843331601,"sku":"P21692S","price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":28443251281,"sku":"P21693S","price":6.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 Seeds","offer_id":29840847889,"sku":"P21694S","price":47.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/5071\/files\/28395493654714.jpg?v=1759505193"},{"product_id":"lipstick-pepper-seeds-capsicum-annuum-heirloom-sweet-pepper","title":"Lipstick Sweet Pepper Seeds – Heirloom (Capsicum annuum)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLipstick Sweet Pepper – Heirloom, Organically Grown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e | Annual | 70–74 Days to Maturity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAptly named for its glossy, lipstick-red fruit, the Lipstick pepper is one of the finest heirloom sweet peppers for home gardens and containers alike.
