Grow Your Own Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds - Perfect for Short Seasons!

Discover the joy of growing your own Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds, an heirloom variety prized for its quick production and versatile flavor. Ideal for short-season climates, these peppers mature rapidly, offering a bountiful harvest of sweet, crunchy fruits that can grow up to 6" long. Whether pickled, stuffed, or turned into jellies, these peppers add a delightful touch to any dish.

Why Choose Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds?

These open-pollinated peppers are not only easy to grow but also incredibly flavorful. The fruit transitions from pale green to light yellow when ready to harvest, and if left longer, they deepen to a vibrant red. With a mild heat level (Scoville 0-500), they’re perfect for those who enjoy a subtle kick without overwhelming spice.

Easy-to-Grow & High-Yielding Plants

Compact plants reach about 24 inch tall, making them suitable for gardens or large containers (5-gallon recommended). Each packet contains 30 seeds, ensuring plenty of peppers for fresh eating, pickling, or sharing with friends and family.

Planting Tips for Success

  • Start Indoors: Begin 8 weeks before warm nights, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat.
  • Germination: Seeds sprout in 7-21 days with bright light and consistent moisture.
  • Transplant: Move seedlings to pots until they develop 6 true leaves, then plant 30" apart in rich soil.
  • Harvest: Pick when peppers are light yellow and full-sized for the sweetest flavor.

Try our Simple Pickled Banana Peppers Recipe to preserve their crisp, tangy goodness! All seeds are GMO-free, so you can grow with confidence.

Best for sandwiches

We grew these and made refrigerator pickled slices, and they are so good on sandwiches! I only wish I grew a few more plants so we'd have more jars - they don't last long! We added some of your early jalapenos to the jars too for some extra spice.

Love these banana peppers!

I don't know why I put two seeds in each pod in my aerogarden, they all sprout so then I have to see if I can gently pull out the extra seedlings to transplant into their own pods. :) More is better, right? I just don't have it in me to throw them away or even compost them if they look like they have good roots. :) Anyway, these have been productive for me for years, I love to pickle them (quick refrigerator pickles, your recipe) and my husband LOVES them. I also will throw in a jalapeno or other hot pepper just to give them a little more heat. Perfecto!

Tasty and easy to grow

Really good germination rate, I think every one I planted sprouted. Plants were reasonably hardy, and put on a good amount of peppers. These were supposed to be sweet, but they ended up having a little heat to them. Made them a nice surprise. These are one of my daughter's favorite peppers.
