Sweet Peppers

Plump, crisp and colorful, juicy home grown peppers are supremely appetizing to look at and cook with, and rewarding to grow. You can choose from colorful varieties from all over the world, all sweet, full-flavored, thick-walled and crunchy. Peppers are an excellent source of vitamins A and C (they actually have more of these vitamins than orange juice). 

All peppers will eventually turn from green to their mature, ripe color which, depending upon their breeding, may be red, orange, gold, or yellow. When they are fully mature and colored, peppers have more vitamins and sweetness than immature green stage. Choose varieties for flavor, earliness and deep colors. Handsome pepper plants are gracefully ornamental, with glossy leaves and pert white flowers. They belong in every summer garden and kitchen.
