Vinedale Sweet Pepper

Vinedale Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum) - A rare heirloom developed in 1928 by the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario, Vinedale Sweet Pepper was nearly lost to circulation but has been preserved by dedicated seed savers in eastern Canada over the past 25 years. This short-day pepper produces abundant 4–5″ red pimiento-shaped fruits, which ripen from dark green at 50–55 days to deep red by 60–65 days. A very early producer of uniform and super sweet fruit! This historic variety is also excellent for seed saving, a true heirloom to preserve.

55-60 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.
