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

Enjoy vibrant color and garden-fresh flavor with Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This heirloom Capsicum annuum variety produces long, slender yellow peppers with a mild, sweet taste and crisp texture—perfect for fresh eating, pickling, or stuffing. As the fruits mature, they shift beautifully from yellow to orange to deep red, adding both visual appeal and culinary versatility to your garden.

Sweet Banana Peppers thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing generous harvests across USDA zones 4–11. Plants grow quickly and reliably, reaching about 24–30 inches tall and continuing to bear fruit throughout the warm season. Early harvests offer a gentle tang, while fully ripened peppers deliver maximum sweetness and color.

Sweet, Productive, and Easy to Grow:

  • Mild, crisp flavor ideal for pickling, stuffing, or slicing fresh
  • Long, 6–8 inch fruits that ripen from yellow to orange to red
  • High-yield, heirloom variety that produces all season long
  • Matures in 65–75 days from transplant
  • Great for salads, sandwiches, and preserving

Why Gardeners Love Sweet Banana Peppers:

  • Non-GMO, open-pollinated, and untreated heirloom seeds
  • Reliable yields and strong performance in home gardens
  • Suitable for raised beds, containers, or garden rows
  • Beginner-friendly and ideal for small or large gardens alike
  • Excellent for long-term food storage and preservation

How to Grow:

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date.
  • Maintain soil temperatures around 75–85°F for best germination (7–14 days).
  • Transplant outdoors once frost danger has passed and soil is warm.
  • Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun with consistent watering.
  • Harvest at the yellow stage for tangy sweetness or red for full flavor.
