Capsicum, Sweet Pepper 'Red Grilling' Heirloom

Description

This sweet red pepper has three-lobed fruit that tapers to a blunt end, with medium thick walls and a terrifically distinct flavor. Yellow-green when small, turns red as it matures. Delicious grilled and raw in salads. Great for container gardening. Stores well.

Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors eight to ten weeks before last spring frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80 degrees F) for best germination. Be patient, peppers can be slow to germinate. Harden off young plants 10 days before transplanting and plant outdoors in late spring after soil temperature has warmed. Wait until green peppers mature to red for harvest. Plants are more than 2′ tall and very prolific.
