Basic Info

Latin Name:	Capsicum annuum
Pepper Type:	Sweet - These peppers (think Bell Peppers) are almost all at 0 on the Scoville Scale, meaning that they have no heat at all. A handful of sweet peppers do register very low on the Scoville scale but are still classed as sweet peppers. For example, Pepperoncinis are sweet peppers but usually rank around 100 to 500 on the Scoville Scale.
Cubanelle Pepper Color:	Orange, Red
Cubanelle Pepper Flavor:	Distinct, sweet

Growing Info

Hardiness Zone:	4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Technically a tender perennial, but commonly grown as an annual. Perennial in zones 10 and 11.
Days to Maturity:	65 (from transplant)
Days to Germination:	7-10
Seeding Depth:	0.25 inch
Plant Spacing:	12-18 inches
Row Spacing:	24-36 inches
Plant Height:	18-24 inches
Growth Habit:	Upright
Soil Preference:	Well-draining, loose (sandy loam), slightly acidic (6.5 pH), and moisture retaining. Too much nitrogen in the soil may lead to more foliage production and less fruiting, similar to tomatoes. Peppers also need sufficient amounts of phosphorus and calcium. We recommend using a balanced fertilizer for the best results.
Temperature Preference:	Warmer (70-85 F). During high heat, foliar and flower development slow or pause until temperatures return to the preferred range.
Light Preference:	Full Sun

Other

Direct Sow:	No
Start Indoors:	Yes Start Indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date. Harden off and transplant when seedlings are 6-8 inches tall. Bury the stem slightly deeper than the root ball. Avoid planting hot and sweet peppers right next to each other, as they can cross-pollinate, potentially affecting the flavors of your harvested peppers.
Pepper Pollination:	Peppers have perfect flowers (male and female parts) and will self-pollinate. However, wind and pollinator activity may increase success rates of fertilization and fruit production.
Plant Width:	18-24 inches
Deer Resistant:	No
Scoville Heat Units:	100 to 500
Heat Level:	Mild - 100 to 2,500 on the Scoville Scale. Example: Poblano Ancho or Pepperoncini
Growth Speed:	Early - Ready for harvest around 61 to 75 days from transplant.
Germination Temperature:	80-90 F
Pests and Diseases:	Peppers are commonly susceptible to cutworms, aphids, flea beetles, bacterial spot, Phytophthora, sunscald, and blossom end rot. To avoid or reduce problems with pests and diseases, stick to a regular watering schedule (drip irrigation is preferred), plant into well-draining soils, and utilize practices such as crop rotation. When taking pest control measures, consider utilizing integrated pest management principles by using mechanical removal, biological control, and other cultural practices before turning to chemical agents.
Garden Size:	Container, Greenhouse, Garden Plot, Raised Bed
Pepper Use:	Frying
Climate Tolerance:	Drought Tolerant
