Pepper Sweet Cherry Blend Heirloom
Capsicum annuum
Days to maturity: 75. Peter Piper would love to pick a peck of these sweet, small peppers for his pickled peppers! Delicious fresh in salads, stuffed for a tasty appetizer, and ideal for canning and pickling. The cherry tomato-sized peppers can be picked and eaten while still green or ripened to a brilliant red or yellow for added color and full sweet flavor. Red pepper seeds are colored red, while yellow pepper seeds are natural so you can be sure which one you are sowing.
