Small bushy plants. Dark green ovate leaves. Chilli need warm frost free weather, so protect with glass or plastic covers if planting outside in cooler areas. Most varieties need a long growing period to produce many ‘chillies’.

Banana peppers are native to South America. They come in several different varieties ranging from mild and sweet to hot and pungent. The peppers are about four to six inches long and they resemble a banana in shape and are pale yelow-green to yellow in color becoming bright red when mature.

Nutritional Value:
This sweet mild pepper, like all peppers sweet or hot, has a high vitamin content in a high-fiber, low-calorie package. Banana peppers are especially high in vitamin C, vitamin B6, and folate, all found to be important in heart health and associated with a reduced risk of some cancers. Even a small amount of banana pepper is a great way to get your vitamin C, essential to the health of our bones, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments – and an important antioxidant in the fight against cancer.

Features:
Harvest in 65-80 days
Grow in seed trays, and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Sow seed at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed.
Best planted at soil temperatures between 18°C and 35°C.
Space plants: 40-50cm
Planting/Growing Tips:
Sow seeds indoors, 1/4 inch deep in flats, peat pots or cellpacks, 8-10 weeks before you anticipate transplanting outside. Seed germinates best when soil temperature is warm.
Use black plastic and/or row covers to speed soil warming and early growth. Use caution with row covers not to overheat plants and cause them to drop their blossoms.
If not using black plastic, mulch plants after they are well established and the soil has warmed to retain moisture and control weeds. Stake tall varieties for earlier and heavier harvest.
Chilli need even moisture for best performance. An even supply can reduce blossom end rot, a disorder caused by lack of calcium. Do not plant in same spot more than once every 4 years.
Maintenance and care:
Plant approx. 1/4″ deep in individual cells or 4″ pots. Be sure to keep them in a warm place. Provide plenty of light once seeds have germinated. Young heirloom pepper plants like it to stay warm and will develop well if kept happy.
set banana pepper transplants 12-24″ apart in rows 24-36″ apart in well-drained loam amended with compost. If the soil is low in magnesium, dig in a dusting of Epsom salt. Plant sweet and hot banana pepper varieties as far away from one another as possible to avoid cross-pollination. You can expect sweet banana peppers to have a mildly tangy flavor from cross-pollination.
