Care instructions
80 days. Candy-sweet, round, flat, 3-inch pimento-type peppers that have thick, red flesh; great for stuffing or fresh eating. So good they are almost addictive. Very productive plants. Once used to color cheese.

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost date of spring. Surface-sow or barely cover the seeds, which benefit from light to hurry germination. Keep the seed-tray in warm conditions, but do not allow to dry out. When sprouts appear, move to a sunny window or glow light. Set out well-developed transplants after last frost date when weather is warm. Peppers need rich soil. Peppers may be used green or ripe.
