Greenhouse Peppers
1 plant/ 3.5” pot. Pepper plants are cold sensitive. We do not recommend planting them outdoors until June, and even then, with season extension tools like mini hoophouses or walls of water in combination with frost cloth.
For seed saving, opt for open pollinated varieties. Seeds saved from hybrid varieties will likely not produce future generations with the same characteristics.
SPICY:
‘Early Jalapeño’: Open pollinated. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 74 days green/ 94 days red. Cylindrical fruits are of the smaller, traditional size (2-2 1/2") and some checking on their skins.
SWEET:
‘Ace’: Hybrid. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 64 days green/ 84 days red. Medium-size, 3-4 lobed bell pepper. Has apparent tolerance to blossom drop as nearly every flower produces a pepper. Widely adapted but performs particularly well in cool climates where bell peppers are difficult to grow successfully.
‘Carmen’: Hybrid. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 74 days green/ 94 days red. An award winning Corno di Toro (or "Bull's Horn") pepper popular in Italy. Early, adaptable, and notably sweet (especially when fully red-ripe) with a shapely tapered silhouette. Begins green, then deepens to a beautiful carmine at maturity. Excellent roasted, grilled, and in salads. Great paired with yellow Corno di Toro 'Escamillo.' Bred by Johnny's Selected Seeds and named for the gypsy Carmen from the French opera. Upright, medium-sized plant. Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing. Fruits avg. 6" long x 2 1/2" wide. Avg. weight 5 oz.
‘Cornito’: Hybrid. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 69–74 green; 89-94 ripe. A popular class of peppers, cornitos are 1–1 1/2" wide at the shoulders and 5" long. They are exceptionally sweet and attractive smaller versions of Carmen and Escamillo, with similar maturity. Perfect for grilling and roasting. Productive plants. Known as a kapia type in Europe, where it is quite popular. Bred by Janika Eckert and Emily Rose Haga. Cornitos Rosso (red), Giallo (yellow), and Arancia (orange).
‘Escamillo’: Hybrid. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 74 days green/ 94 days yellow. Delicious yellow Italian frying pepper. The golden-yellow counterpart to lovely 'Carmen' and a refined take on the popular Corno di Toro (or "Bull's Horn") pepper class. Bred by Johnny's Selected Seeds and named for Carmen's love interest in the French opera: the bullfighter Escamillo. Intoxicating sweetness any way it is prepared, but traditionally used for frying. Broad-shouldered with an attractive taper. Fruits avg. 6" long x 2-2 1/2" wide. AAS winner.
‘Frodo’: Hybrid. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 76 green; 96 red ripe. Extra-large, avg. 5–6" long x 3 1/2–4" wide, premium-quality fruit that are much more flavorful than a typical blocky bell. Lamuyos are quite popular in southern Europe and have been increasing in popularity in California, where they are enjoyed for their striking appearance and excellent eating quality. Sturdy plant with good leaf cover to protect fruits from sunscald. Frodo is quick to turn red for its type, and so is suitable for the open field and unheated tunnels in regions with warm and moderate climates. In northern areas we recommend growing Frodo in tunnels, where it will mature sooner and yield much better than when grown in the open field. We recommend staking the plants for best fruit quality.
‘Lunchbox’: Open pollinated. Estimated days to maturity from transplanting in Central Oregon: 69 -77 green/ 89-97 days ripe. Red, yellow, and orange Lunchbox snack peppers are beautiful, mini-sized, and with remarkably sweet flavor. They are delicious sautéed, as an addition to salads and, of course, perfect for a healthy snack. NOTE: Lunchbox Red is slightly smaller than the rest of the series.
SHISHITO:
Open pollinated. Expected days to maturity in Central Oregon: 74 days green / 89 days red. Avg. 3–3 1/2" fruits are thin-walled and have no heat (although occasionally one can have a little kick). Popular in Japan, where its thin walls make it particularly suitable for tempura. Also very good roasted, in stir-fries, or sautéed. In Asia, the fruits are always cooked green, but they may also be used red. Thinly sliced, the red, slightly sweet fruits are excellent in salads and cole slaws.
