(Capsicum annuum). We’re thrilled to offer this classic sweet wax pepper that has been grown by generations of gardeners. Sleek, tapered fruit reaches 6-7 inches long, 2 inches wide and a translucent ivory color when immature, ripening quickly to stunning red-orange. Superb pickled or stuffed, in salads, and more. A treasure!
Growing Tips: Banana sweet peppers grow best in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular feeding with a balanced organic fertilizer improves fruit production. Provide consistent moisture and avoid letting soil dry out completely. Use stakes or cages if plants become top-heavy from abundant fruit. Peppers often appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the hottest summer weather.
