Golden Greek Pepperoncini Pepper Seeds
Grow your own mild pickling peppers with Capsicum annuum Golden Greek Pepperoncini. The slender, thin-walled peppers are suited to salads, sandwiches and homemade pickles. Choose your seed count before adding to cart.
Why Choose Golden Greek Pepperoncini?
- Mild pepper flavor for gardeners who prefer less heat than a typical hot chili.
- Harvest young yellow-green peppers for pickling, or allow fruit to ripen further.
- Suitable for sunny garden beds, raised beds and adequately sized containers.
What's in the Pack?
Your selected option contains 30, 60 or 150 seeds. These are seeds for planting, not fresh peppers or live plants. The quantity selector determines the seed count in one pack; cart quantity determines how many packs you order.
Growing Profile
Light: Full sun. Soil: Fertile and well drained. Spacing: About 18–24 inches. Growing zone: Grow as a frost-tender summer annual wherever the warm season is long enough; a USDA zone alone does not determine planting dates. Harvest: The listed estimate of about 65 days is from transplanting under favorable conditions, not from sowing.
Planting Instructions
- Start indoors about 8 weeks before your planned outdoor planting date. Sow roughly 1/4 inch deep in a clean seed-starting mix.
- Keep the mix warm and evenly moist, not saturated. Provide strong light as soon as seedlings emerge.
- Pot on when needed, then gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions.
- Transplant after frost danger has passed and nights and soil are reliably warm. Water consistently during flowering and fruit development.
- Cut peppers from the plant rather than pulling on branches. Harvest regularly at your preferred stage.
FAQs
Are these hot peppers?
They are generally mild, but not guaranteed heat-free. Heat varies with growing conditions and individual fruit.
Do I receive all three pack sizes?
No. You receive the seed count selected: 30, 60 or 150 seeds per pack.
Does 65 days mean 65 days after sowing?
No. Allow additional time to raise seedlings; the harvest estimate starts at transplanting and varies with weather.
Can I grow them in a pot?
Yes. Use a roomy container with drainage holes, full sun and consistent watering.
When should I pick pepperoncini for pickling?
Pick firm, young yellow-green fruit. Peppers left on the plant continue ripening and can turn red.
Can I direct sow outdoors?
In a sufficiently long, warm season, yes. Starting indoors is more practical in short-season climates. Follow a tested preservation recipe when canning your harvest.
