Time to plant peppers! Here are some of our featured pepper varieties with recipes we want to try for each variety. Click here to see more pepper recipes on our Pinterest Board.
Shishito
Small, mild peppers that are great for roasting, pan frying and grilling. They char when cooked and adopt a delicious, rich flavor. They are traditionally harvested when green, but they get sweeter if left to grow until they are orange or red. Prolific.
Golden California Wonder
Big, sweet and mild peppers. These plants set fruit continuously that matures from green to yellow. The fruit is smooth, blocky and thick walled.
Thunderbolt
Large, sweet peppers that grow to be a foot long! They have a delectable crunch. Turn from green to red. Prolific.
Pinot Noir
Crisp, very sweet purple bell. Especially hardy to Colorado weather.
Emerald Fire
Compact plants. Jalapenos with mild medium heat. Great choice for stuffing, grilling or salsas. Very little cracking even after maturing to red. Great disease resistant and thick-walled fruits.
Spicy Slice
Large, firm, smooth, sliceable fruits with a medium heat on the Scoville chart. Heavy yields, mature early, mature from dark green to red.
