Pick Peppers by Flavor, Heat, and Space

Choose pepper plants based on how you cook, the heat level you enjoy, and the space available. Peppers are warm-season plants that benefit from direct sun, well-drained soil, and consistent care after transplanting.

Sweet and hot pepper varieties can sell at different rates throughout the season. Contact the greenhouse when you need a specific type or quantity.

Raised beds, in-ground gardens, and sufficiently large containers can all work when plants receive adequate light and root room.
