HMS Red Picnic Pepper, Organic

High Mowing Organic Seeds - Pretty much the sweetest pepper we’ve ever tasted.

Small red peppers have unbelievable sweetness and a rich complex flavor. Bred with an emphasis on flavor, yields and plants that stand up straight for easy harvest. After on-farm trials in Wisconsin, growers commented that they had trouble selling ripe fruit because their kids and partners ate them out of the field as soon as they turned red.

Peppers can be harvested and eaten at either the unripe (green) or ripe (colored) stage.  Colored peppers generally require 2 – 4 weeks longer. Store peppers at 50° - 54°F and 95% percent relative humidity. Chilling injury occurs at temperatures below 45°F.
