Quick Grow Facts
-
Crop: Sweet Banana, a mild, sweet Capsicum annuum pepper.
-
Growth form: Bushy, branching fruiting plant; support stems if fruit weight makes them lean.
-
Sow: Start about 6 mm deep in protected, free-draining mix; keep the root zone warm, around 27–32 °C for general pepper propagation, and evenly moist.
-
Plant out: Harden off and transplant into sun after frost danger passes and soil warms.
-
Space: About 45–60 cm between garden plants, or use a generous, free-draining container.
-
Harvest: Cut firm yellow fruit for a mild fresh bite, or let it colour red for full ripeness.
-
Listed pack: 1,000 seeds.
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil and water steadily as fruit develops. Wash fruit before eating fresh, pickling or stuffing. Sowing seed is for planting, not eating or sprouting. Brought to you by Ubuntuberg Seeds.
