Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds
The
Sweet banana pepper is also known as the yellow wax pepper or banana chili. The sweet taste of the
banana pepper makes it one of the most popular pepper varieties to grow. This
pepper is often pickled and used as an ingredient in sandwiches.
This
pepper gets its name from it's shape and color which resembles a banana. This
pepper is not very hot (0–500 Scoville units), with the most ripe peppers being sweeter than younger ones.
Banana peppers are not the same as pepperoncini (which some erroneously refer to as banana peppers).
The plant requires full sun, and should be treated the same as most other plants in the pepper family. Plants can be grown from seed and cuttings.
