These think walled peppers are usually hung up to dry to be turned into a ground spice. They are often used to impart a red color to dishes. They turn from green to red when they are ready to be harvested.

Planting/Harvesting Notes

  • Plant once all chance of frost has passed

  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a location that gets at least 8 hours of sun daily

  • Matures in 75-90 days

    Seed Saving

To save seed, allow the pepper to turn yellow on the plant, then harvest, cut the pepper, scrape out the seeds and dry on a flat surface such as a screen, paper plate or baking sheet. Allow to dry for 1-2 weeks and then store in a paper envelope.
