This is an extra early maturing Japanese hybrid that produces glossy, thin-wall, sweet green bell peppers that are small-sized up to 3-4" in length and 30-40 grams in weight. Plants are 24-30" tall. This variety is tobacco mosaic virus tolerant.
- Warm season annual
- Approx. 50-75 seeds in packet. (A seed will vary in weight and size within a given seed lot. The number of seeds stated is only an estimate.)
- 96,000 seed count per pound.
- Maturity: Approx. 60-70 days
- Planting season: Late spring to early summer
Cultivation: Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence. Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Transplant in late spring/summer (soil temperatures at least above 60°F) in a very warm and sunny location. Fertilize as needed. Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage and few fruits.
