Capsicum annuum
Red skin. (60 days) F-1 hybrid.

A cinch to grow in the North. CR, no pepper pro, reported counting 54 full-sized and 12 baby peppers on his 11 plants on Sept. 8, 2014, a good pepper year. Resists blossom drop even in adverse weather so that almost every flower produces.

Fruits are thin-walled, elongated, not blocky, turn red early, good for the home garden. This is an improvement on the old New Ace strain, producing large pointy peppers, just not classic blocky 4-lobed commercial peppers. From Ohio, Janine Welsby responds, “Don’t damn them with faint praise! Still the only pepper that consistently ripens gorgeous red bells for us. ”

Days to full-color maturity are from transplanting date.

Capsicum comes from the Greek kapto which means ‘bite.’

Culture: Start indoors in March or April. Minimum germination soil temperature 60°, optimal range 68-95°. Set out in June. Very tender, will not tolerate frost, dislike wind, will not set fruit in cold or extremely hot temperatures or in drought conditions. Black plastic highly recommended. Row cover improves fruit set in windy spots. Pick first green peppers when they reach full size to increase total yield significantly. Green peppers, though edible, are not ripe. Peppers ripen to red, yellow, orange, etc.

Saving Seed: Saving pepper seed is easy! Remove core of the fully ripe pepper (usually red or orange) and dry on a coffee filter. When dry, rake seeds off the core with a butter knife. To ensure true-to-type seed, grow open- pollinated varieties and separate by 30 feet. Use only the first fruits for seed; allow only 3–4 fruits per plant to grow and remove all others. Fewer fruits = larger seeds = greater seed viability. Later fruits often have germination rates of only 60%.
