Are Red Cherry peppers sweet or hot?
This sweet Red Cherry is a mild, sweet pepper with round, cherry-shaped fruits. Its thick, juicy walls are perfect for pickling whole or stuffing, with no heat to speak of.
What are Red Cherry peppers best used for?
They are ideal for pickling whole, stuffing with cheese, and adding to relishes and antipasto. The small round shape and sweet flavor also make them a colorful fresh garnish.
When should I start Red Cherry seeds?
Start indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost in warm soil around 80 F. Transplant outdoors only after nights stay above 55 F, as peppers need warmth.
How long until Red Cherry peppers are ready to harvest?
Expect about 75 to 80 days from transplant for fruit fully ripened to red. Pick them when firm and deep red for the best sweet flavor and pickling quality.
What spacing and sun do the plants need?
Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart in full sun with rows 24 to 36 inches apart. The bushy, highly productive plants also grow well in large containers.
How many seeds are in the packet and are they heirloom?
Each packet contains about 85 seeds. Sweet Red Cherry is open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO, so you can save seed from ripe fruit to grow again next year.
