Peaceful Valley Sheepnose Sweet Pepper Seeds
Best heirloom choice for home gardeners who enjoy canning sweet peppers.
These heirloom peppers are the gold standard for home canners who value meaty, thick-walled texture over sheer size. While you will need to start them indoors well before the frost, the reward is a reliably sweet, nutrient-dense harvest that stores far better than your average supermarket variety.
