Sweet Banana Pepper – The "Mild and Mellow" Garden Classic for Pickling, Salads, and Fresh Crunch
Shop the highest quality Sweet Banana Pepper seeds for a harvest that is as beautiful as it is delicious. When it comes to a mild pepper that the whole family can enjoy, Sweet Banana is the "Crowd Pleaser." This award-winning heirloom is famous for its long, 6-inch tapered fruits that start a pale, translucent yellow and ripen to a brilliant orange and then red. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it is the premier choice for making homemade pickled pepper rings, topping pizzas, or adding a sweet crunch to fresh garden salads.
In the garden, Sweet Banana Pepper is a prolific "workhorse," with a single plant often producing dozens of peppers at a time. The fruits hang like ornaments from the sturdy branches, making the plant a stunning addition to any garden bed. It is a fantastic companion plant for carrots and onions, as they grow well together in tight spaces. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get heavy yields of sweet, mild peppers that have absolutely no "bite," making them perfect for children and those who prefer flavor over fire.

Sweet Banana Pepper Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors once the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.
2. Preparation: Peppers love phosphorus and potassium but can be stunted by too much nitrogen. Use a well-balanced compost and ensure the planting site gets at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil warm (75-80°F) to ensure the seeds "wake up" quickly. Keep the humidity high until the first set of true leaves appears.
4. Care: Sweet Banana peppers can become quite heavy with fruit. Providing a small cage or stake will prevent the branches from breaking during a summer storm or heavy harvest.
5. Pests and Diseases: Flea beetles can sometimes nibble small holes in the leaves of young plants; row covers can provide protection until the plants are larger. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf spot.
