Sweet Banana pepper produces lots of sweet crunchy bright yellow peppers 4 to 6 inch long fruits. Great for fresh picking, jams, relishes and even pizza.

Sow Banana pepper seeds indoors about six weeks before the last expected frost. For most locations, this will be between January and March. Replant your seedlings in larger pots after they have at least 2 sets of true leaves or are at least 2 inches tall. In two more weeks move outdoors to a bright, well-drained but moist location. Prepare your peppers for the outdoors by letting a small fan blow on them or taking them outdoors into a protected location for a few hours a day.

Warm nutrient-rich, free-draining soil. Apply mulch to maintain even moisture and reduce splash up from heavy rains that may damage the fruits.
