What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow flavorful, versatile peppers with Cubanelle Pepper Seeds, a classic heirloom Capsicum annuum variety prized for its mild, sweet flavor and thin-walled, crisp texture. These 3–6 inch, pale green peppers are a staple in Italian, Caribbean, and Mediterranean cooking, perfect for sautéing, frying, stuffing, or slicing fresh into salads.

Compact 24–30 inch plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing generous harvests in about 70 days from transplant. Whether grown in raised beds, containers, or traditional garden rows, Cubanelle peppers deliver dependable yields and a light, pleasant sweetness that suits family meals and everyday recipes.

This open-pollinated heirloom is non-GMO, untreated, and selected for reliable germination and garden performance. Once established, plants show moderate drought tolerance and steady fruit set throughout the season.

Sweet, Versatile, and Productive:

  • Long, slender 3–6 inch fruits with mild, sweet flavor
  • Ideal for frying, sautéing, or stuffing
  • Thrives in full sun; grows 24–30 inches tall
  • Matures in about 70 days from transplant
  • Excellent for Italian, Latin, and Caribbean dishes

Why Gardeners Love Cubanelle Peppers:

  • Heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO
  • High-yielding plants suited for containers or garden beds
  • Thin walls cook quickly—perfect for pan-frying or roasting
  • Reliable performance in USDA zones 4–10

How to Grow:

  • Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Maintain soil temperatures around 75–85°F for best germination (10–14 days).
  • Transplant outdoors after frost risk passes, spacing plants 18 inches apart.
  • Grow in full sun with consistent moisture during early growth.
  • Harvest peppers about 70 days after transplant, when fruits reach pale green maturity.

Harvest & Use:
Pick Cubanelle peppers when light green for mild flavor or allow them to deepen in color for a touch more sweetness. Use fresh in salads, sautéed in olive oil, or stuffed with cheese, grains, or meats for flavorful, classic dishes.
