Capsicum baccatum
Days to Maturity: 80 from transplant
A rare baccatum SWEET pepper, CAP 455 is the only heatless baccatum we know of! A beautiful fruity flavor. Thick walled fruits are so tasty. They like some support like a cage or trellis, as the plants can grow 3-4 feet high and fruits will weigh down the plant. Give this one a try as a more prolific alternative to capsicum annuum bell peppers!
Planting Instructions: Start CAP 455 Pepper seeds indoors under lights 3-6 weeks before last spring frost. Transplant after all danger of frost has passed, spaced 2' apart. Keep soil slightly moist but do not overwater.
Seed Saving Instructions: Remove CAP 455 Pepper seeds from the tastiest, fully mature fruit. Or use a blender with a very low setting-- place fruits with plenty of water and slowly blend. Strain out seeds. Dry seeds on a screen or cloth. Store seeds in a paper or mesh bag in a cool, dark and dry location.
Approximately 20 CAP 455 Pepper seeds per packet
