Fill your garden with a healthy snack for lunchtime and beyond. These sweet snacking peppers serve both loads of crunch and lots of beta-carotene and vitamin C. They’re ideal for eating straight off the plant, chopped fresh in salads, or sliced thin for stir-fries.
Plants tend to give high yields, so consider staking with a tomato cage when planting in a windy location, to keep stems from breaking. Lunchbox Sweet Snacking Pepper plants work beautifully in containers; plant one per 18-inch pot.
Underplant with dwarf marigolds for a pretty combination. Seeds will be approximately 2-3" long with most being closer to 2” than 3".
Germination: 7-14 days
Maturation: 75-80 days
Planting Instructions:
All peppers need heat to germinate and some peppers can take as long as 30 days or more. The recommended easiest and fastest way to germinate is in a small pot with the seed barely covered with soil. Mist and cover with plastic wrap. Check every few days and never let dry out. Sitting on a heating mat for faster germination can potentially reduce time to 7-10 days. Peppers can be grown all year long in containers.
yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
