Banana Pepper Plant Start

A classic heirloom sweet pepper that has been grown for generations. Fruit grows to 6-7 inches in length and can ripen from that iconic banana yellow to a deep red-orange if left on the plant. 0-500 on the Scoville heat scale.

All plant starts are grown in OASIS® 1.5″ x 1.5″ grow cubes until they reach approximately 4″ to 6″ in height. Plants are only stocked and made available for shipping once both the plant and root system are strong enough to withstand transit.

We do not accept pre-orders at this time.

Harvest: 60-70 Days

Sun: Full Sun

Pairs Well With:

Eggplants – Peppers and eggplants demand similar growing conditions making them quite a strong pairing

Beans, peas – Peppers are heavy feeders and pairing with legume varieties that enrich the soil will do them well

Lettuce, salad mix – These low-to-the-ground varieties both maximize garden space and are light feeders, complimenting both pepper’s size and tendency to pull a lot of nutrients from the soil

Marigolds – a repellent for some of the pests that bother peppers
