Capsicum annuum
- Sweet flavour
- Cute mini size perfect for lunchboxes and snacking
- Heavy yields
- Beautiful deep yellow when fully mature
Deep yellow colour with a rich, sweet pepper flavour. Chefs have commented that all the Sweet Mini's have a well rounded, complex, sweet and savoury flavour. And they are oh so cute - the perfect size for crudités. Crunchy, sweet with minimal seeds.
Our breeding on this variety emphasised flavour, size, yield and upright, straight plants architecture for easy harvest - with a good fruit set in cooler springs.
55-80mm fruits. 55 days Green, 70-85 days Yellow
We began working on sweet minis by taking hybrid seed and slowly through selection, stabilising each colour as an open pollinated variety. Like all OP seed, there may still be an off type that presents.

TRANSPLANTS (recommended)- Sow seeds into shallow flats, 4 seeds/2.5cm about 8 weeks prior to transplanting. If possible, maintain soil temperatures at 27-32°C. Capsicum seeds germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 5cm cell-type containers or 10cm pots. Grow plants at approx. 21°C day and 16°C nights. Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
Transplant out after frost when the soil is warm and weather is settled. Ideal seedlings have buds, but no open flowers. Set plants 30-45cm apart in rows 60-90cm apart, or 2 rows with 45cm between plants.
NOTE – 'Days to Maturity' are from transplant to green fruit. Fruit continues to mature on the plant to yellow. The flavour also sweetens as the fruit fully matures.
