Just Sweet Pepper Seeds

Capsicum annuum Just Sweet F1 Pepper

Capsicum annuum Just Sweet F1 Pepper is an award-winning, unique snacking variety that delivers the crunch of a bell pepper in a convenient, handheld size. Growing to about 30 to 36 inches tall with a spread of 15 to 18 inches, this variety is a standout for vegetable gardens, patio containers, and urban balconies where space is at a premium but flavor is non-negotiable. Unlike traditional bell peppers that can be cumbersome and slow to ripen, Just Sweet produces adorable, four-lobed mini peppers (approx. 3 inches long) that mature quickly, offering a dazzling display of vivid, glossy yellow-orange fruits that are exceptionally sweet and crisp.

 

Culinary and Practical Uses 

• The exceptionally thick, sugary walls make these peppers the ultimate healthy snack, perfect for packing in lunchboxes or eating straight off the vine.
• Their hollow, four-lobed shape is ideal for stuffing with herbed cream cheese, crab, or sausage for bite-sized appetizers that hold their shape when baked.
• With a flavor profile described as sweet with aromatic, fruity accents, they add a bright pop of color and crunch to fresh salads, stir-fries, and vegetable platters. 

 

Characteristics

• Foliage: Dense canopy of dark green leaves that provides excellent coverage, protecting the bright yellow fruit from sunscald.
• Growth Habit: Vigorous, upright, and notably bushy; the plants are bred to be structurally strong and self-supporting, often requiring no staking despite heavy yields.
• Flowers: Produces small, white, star-shaped blossoms in early summer that are self-pollinating and rapidly develop into shiny green fruit that ripens to gold.
• Seeds: Concentrated at the stem end for easy removal; while seeds can be harvested, this is an F1 hybrid, so saved seeds may not produce plants identical to the parent.

 

Growing Requirements

• Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to maximize sugar content and vibrant coloration.
• Soil: Adapts to most soil types but performs best in rich, loamy, well-draining soil; resistant to Tobamovirus.
• Water: Requires consistent, moderate watering; keeping soil evenly moist is key to producing thick walls and preventing bitterness.
• Spacing: Plant transplants 12 to 18 inches apart in rows 24 to 30 inches apart; their compact nature allows for slightly tighter spacing than large bell peppers.
• Maintenance: Harvest frequently once fruits turn fully yellow-orange to stimulate continuous production; no heavy pruning is typically required due to its natural bushiness.
