Bonnie Plants Sweet Banana Pepper, 19.3 oz.
This All-America Selections winner is a "staple" pepper for the garden, a very reliable plant that can produce loads of mildly sweet peppers throughout the season. Named for their resemblance to a banana in shape and color, Sweet Banana Peppers can be eaten when yellow, or you can wait to harvest them until they turn orange or red (and become sweeter as they do). Fruits have thin skins, making them a great choice for frying and pickling. Plants grow well in large pots. Be sure to mark plants if you are also growing Hot Banana Peppers, as plants and fruits look quite similar.
