2015 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner
Look…in the garden! Is it an ornamental pepper? Is it edible? Yes to both! Now we can tell consumers that an ornamental pepper CAN be eaten and it tastes fantastic! It’s time for new terminology to describe this multi-purpose plant…how about an “Ornamedible?” Pretty N Sweet is just that: a sweet, multi-colored pepper on a compact 18” plant that is attractive to use in ornamental gardens and containers.
Against the comparisons, Pretty N Sweet was earlier, more prolific (you can harvest weekly in peak season) and has a much sweeter taste with more substantial pepper walls to enjoy fresh or in your favorite pepper dish.
Sow seeds for transplant about 5 weeks before setting out in frost free garden setting. Transplant in sunny location in 3 foot rows with a 12-14 inch spacing. These compact upright sturdy plants do not require staking. The red, orange and yellow sweet peppers are great eaten fresh in salads or for snacking. Remember that your summer harvest can also be preserved by pickling these small sweet peppers. Plant in containers on your patio or in ornamental beds with your annual flowers. Pods and peppers make a beautiful sweet ornamental display all Summer and Fall.
