The Chinese Giant Pepper lives up to its name with impressively large, blocky fruits that resemble a bell pepper on steroids. These sweet peppers are prized for their thick walls, rich red color when fully ripened, and juicy, crisp flavor. This heirloom variety is a favorite for slicing, stuffing, and roasting.
Plant Features:
- Mature Height: 2 to 3 feet.
- Fruit Size: 4 to 6 inches long with a blocky, square shape.
- Fruit Color: Deep green, ripening to a vivid red.
- Days to Maturity: 75 to 80 days from transplant.
Heat Level:
0 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) — completely sweet and mild.
Why You’ll Love It:
- One of the largest heirloom sweet peppers available.
- Thick-walled and ideal for stuffing or slicing fresh into salads.
- Grows well in both containers and garden beds.
- Vigorous and high-yielding plant with broad, healthy leaves.
Growing Tips:
- Light: Full sun (6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day).
- Water: Regular watering with consistent moisture to prevent cracking.
- Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
- Spacing: Plant 18 to 24 inches apart for optimal airflow.
- Support: Due to the large size of the fruits, staking may be needed to prevent branches from breaking under the weight.
The Chinese Giant Pepper is the perfect choice for gardeners who love big, bold, and sweet vegetables. Whether you grill, roast, or eat them fresh, these peppers will wow you with their size and flavor!
