Why Choose Cubanelle Pepper?

• Versatile Harvest: Use the elongated peppers fresh, sautéed, roasted, grilled, or filled with your favorite stuffing.
• Colorful Fruit: Harvest yellow-green peppers or allow them to mature to red for variety in your garden and kitchen.
• Productive Plants: Regular picking and consistent care support repeated harvests during warm weather.
• Distinctive Shape: Approximately 5-inch, tapered, dimpled pods are easy to slice into strips for skillet dishes.
• Heirloom and Non-GMO: Grow a traditional open-pollinated variety; seed saving requires appropriate isolation from other compatible peppers.

Planting Tips for Success

• Start Indoors: Sow about 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix 8–10 weeks before your last expected frost. Provide steady warmth and bright light after emergence.
• Transplant Carefully: Harden seedlings off gradually and plant outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed.
• Sun and Soil: Choose at least 6–8 hours of direct sun and fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost.
• Spacing: Set plants approximately 18–24 inches apart, allowing room for branching and airflow.
• Water Consistently: Keep soil evenly moist, not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and water at soil level.
• Feed Sensibly: Follow soil-test guidance and fertilizer label directions. Avoid excess nitrogen that favors leaves over fruit.
• Support Branches: Use a stake or small cage where fruit loads or wind might bend the branches.
• Harvest Often: Snip peppers with clean pruners rather than pulling. Pick yellow-green or fully red according to your kitchen needs.
• Container Care: Use a roomy container with drainage holes and monitor moisture more frequently during hot weather.
