Lesya Pepper (1 Plant)

Regular price $10.49

Shipping calculated at checkout

50 in stock

One of the sweetest peppers ever bred, comparable to a mild cherry. Quite juicy and particularly thick skinned. So sweet that they’re sometimes used for making jellies. A rugged and highly prolific plant. 0 on the Scoville scale. For a more prolific plant prune off the first pepper to emerge prior to maturity. For best tasting peppers wait until the fruit is 90-100% red.

Harvest: 100-120 Days

Sun: Full Sun

Pairs Well With:

Eggplants – Peppers and eggplants demand similar growing conditions making them quite a strong pairing

Beans, peas - Peppers are heavy feeders and pairing with legume varieties that enrich the soil will do them well

Lettuce, salad mix – These low-to-the-ground varieties both maximize garden space and are light feeders, complimenting both pepper’s size and tendency to pull a lot of nutrients from the soil

Marigolds – a repellent for some of the pests that bother peppers
