Sheepnose Pimento Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum) - This Ohio Valley heirloom dates back to the early 1940s. A very sweet and flavourful tomato-type of pepper that is incredibly flavourful with juicy flesh. This is a solid and meaty mid-sized pepper that is great for canning. An excellent storage pepper as it keeps for an extended period when refrigerated. Plants are rigid and can withstand the weather elements. Fruits hang on in the worst of our Maritime winds!
70-75 days to maturity
25 seeds per packet
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date. Sow ¼″ deep in a warm seed-starting mix and keep soil consistently moist and warm for best germination. Transplant seedlings into cell packs or small pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once frost risk has passed. Transplant outdoors in full sun when day and night temperatures remain consistently above 10 °C, spacing plants 18–24″ apart in well-drained soil.
