Pimento Pepper Seeds - Heirloom Sweet Peppers - Easy to Grow

Pimentos are sweet, succulent, aromatic, and one of our favorites! Fresh from the garden they can be used in the making of pimento cheese or stuffed to be served as an appetizer. An easy way to serve them is cut off the top of the pepper and remove the seeds. Stuff with a bit of fresh mozzarella and brush with olive oil. Grill until the peppers begin to soften and the cheese starts to melt.  Expect heavy yields of large thick walled 4-1/2" long by 3" wide sweet peppers that will turn from green to red when mature. These easy to grow plants will reach 24” high. Capsicum annuum (85 days) Heirloom - open-pollinated Heat Level: None - Sweet Pepper ~ Packet contains 10 seeds.  In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures.
