30+ ORGANICALLY Grown Cubanelle Sweet Pepper Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO, Delicious! from USA

Famous for delicious fried peppers. A heirloom sweet pepper used in some Latin cuisine, the Cubanelle will produce light yellowish green peppers that will turn to orange then dark red when mature. Though classified as a sweet pepper, some gardeners detect a mild to moderate spicy kick! Cubanelle is a thin-walled, long, tapered pepper with more flavor and a lower water content than other bell peppers. It's best picked when yellow-green for use in roasting or frying but can also be left to mature when it will turn orange-red. The Dominican Republic grows and exports the greatest number of Cubanelle peppers, which can be distinguished by their unique shape and varying colors. HOW TO GROW Start seeds in small containers from 8-10 weeks prior to the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in moist, well drained potting soil. Soil temperature MUST be kept at 75-90F for proper germination! Cool soil, particularly at night can inhibit or significantly delay germination. Overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot. To keep soil temperature warm, start seeds indoors. Keep the container covered with a plastic bag on the top of the fridge where the room temperature is higher, therefore the soil temperature is good for germination. Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry. Allow proper air circulation for containers. Once seedlings have sprouted, keep in small containers until a few sets of leaves have developed. Transplant to larger containers or outdoors. If transplanting outdoors, make sure to harden off seedlings by exposing them to only filtered sunlight for up to 1-2 weeks. SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70-85F Plant Spacing: 12-24" Row Spacing: 24-30" Hardiness: Zones 4-10 Sun Requirement: Full sun/ Partial Shade Days to Germination: 14-21 days. Germination Rate: 95%.
