Description / Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds
Days to Maturity: 58 to 75 days
Sweet Banana pepper is a prolific, early-maturing variety prized for its sweet, tangy flavor and high yields. Producing tapered, elongated fruits that reach 6 to 8 inches long, this pepper starts out pale yellow and matures to vibrant orange-red. Its crisp, juicy texture and mild flavor make it a versatile choice for fresh eating or picking. A consistent performer in a wide range of climates, Sweet Banana peppers grow on compact, upright plants about 18 to 24 inches tall, which make it adaptable to container or raised bed plantings.
Also known as banana pepper or yellow wax pepper, Sweet Banana is a staple in vegetable gardens and home kitchens. The mild, sweet flavor is ideal for salads, sandwiches, and sautéed dishes, while its shape and firmness make it perfect for homemade pickles and pepper rings. These peppers pair well with tomatoes, basil, onions, carrots, and cucumbers, both in the garden and in the kitchen. The colorful fruit also adds visual appeal to mixed vegetable plantings and container gardens.
Grow Sweet Banana peppers in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date and transplant after soil has warmed. Plants thrive in warm weather and require consistent watering and feeding for best results..
