What is the fastest growing pepper?

We love peppers at Sandia Seed, and we carry the fastest growing pepper seeds for people who want peppers sooner in the summer, and for those who live in short season climates. As this season comes to a close, many gardeners find that some of the longer-season peppers did not ripen before the first frost set in. Growing any of our favorite fastest growing peppers will ensure you'll have plenty of ripe peppers before the temperatures drop! Read about some of the quickest growing peppers below...

Beginning to harvest in just 57 days, you can start harvesting these chocolate-colored bell peppers much earlier than most other pepper varieties. These crunchy sweet peppers are delicious snack on their own, or put them on salads, stuff them, or add to recipes like fajitas for wonderful sweet pepper flavor. 

The super tasty and sweet Shishito Pepper is another favorite fast growing pepper. Gourmet gardeners and chefs love these peppers for their amazing flavor and early harvests that start early in the summer after about 60 days, and keep producing tons of pods to the first frost.
