Heirloom Aconcagua Pepper Seeds

If you grow these Heirloom Aconcagua pepper seeds expect productive plants with very large sweet fruit. These peppers get their name from a mountain in Argentina where they originated. Expect plants that grow about 36″ in height. The peppers on these plants are heavy so you may benefit from staking or a cage. Fruit can grow as large as 12″ in length and more than 2″ in diameter. Peppers ripen from light green to orange to red but may not always ripen fully to red for growers in northern zones. Great flavor when used fresh use at any stage of maturity. Roast them, stuff them, add them to your burger. Great for any recipe that calls for sweet peppers. You’ll love the delicious fruity flavor; some people even say they taste like apples. You’ll get a nice crisp crunch when you bite it fresh.

This is one of the sweet peppers we grow annually in our garden. It’s a great producing plant that’s replaced Bell peppers in our kitchen. We prefer to pick them when orangish red as they’ll ripen a little more on the counter after harvesting. We always add some Aconcagua to our hot pepper salsa as well because we love the flavor it brings. There’s no heat to these peppers so they’re perfect for any age or those who don’t like spice.

We think you’ll love these peppers as much as we do. Don’t wait, pick up these heirloom Aconcagua pepper seeds today!

Always use high quality, sterile, seed starting mix and be sure and provide a good intensity light after the sprouts appear.
