A Note from the Grower
Peppers can bring more than heat to the table. In this peck of peppers, you’ll find that peppers don’t have to be hot to be interesting. They are a staple in cuisines around the world.

The one thing they all have in common is their mild flavor. They may be smokey or tangy, but NOT HOT. To learn more about ideal pepper care, head to the Plant Guide.
