Pepper Sweet Pizza My Heart Container Seeds produce crunchy, thick-walled, cone-shaped peppers that are sweet with a mild kick of spice. These 3 1/2-inch peppers are perfect for topping pizzas, adding to salads, grilling, or eating fresh straight from the plant. Ideal for containers or garden beds, these compact plants deliver early and abundant harvests. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, keeping them warm and well-lit until they’re ready to transplant. Once night temperatures reach 55°F (13°C), acclimate seedlings and plant them in rich, well-drained soil in full sun, spaced 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart. Regular watering and feeding with half-strength liquid fertilizer will encourage healthy growth. Harvest when peppers turn red, slicing them off carefully for the best flavor and texture in salads, stir-fries, or grilled dishes.
