“DOUBLE YUM” was one judge’s response to our new AAS Winner Cornito Giallo F1 pepper, “The flavor on this one is totally a winner!” Starting as small green fruits, this AAS Winner develops into bright yellow jewels with a delicious sweet and fruity flavor. The peppers themselves are plentiful and durable, yet easy to eat fresh. Being an early bloomer, you will be able to enjoy these peppers throughout the growing season and well into the fall. Plant Cornito Giallo F1 in your garden this year and you can join our judges in exclaiming “YUM!”
Sow seeds 8 weeks prior to transplanting. Pepper seeds should be planted 1/4″ deep in a fine-textured seed-starting mix or vermiculite to provide good drainage.
Bottom heat of 80–90°F/27–32°C is essential for pepper germination. Seeds will germinate in 7–8 days at that temperature; at lower temps, germination is slower, erratic, and percentage germination is reduced.
M.L. –
Five Stars! One of my favorite plants this year (others include Fairy Tale eggplant and Gretel eggplant). I started these from seed, and grew this plant in a self-watering earth box style container with a few other kinds of peppers. It has been very productive and we can’t believe how sweet the peppers are. My family eats them fresh off the plant. Even when just showing a small hint of yellow/orange, they taste like candy. I didn’t stake it, and even though it isn’t very tall, next year I will. (Zone 6b, Boston, MA)
