Genuine Bentley Seed Co. seeds — imported from the USA. Bred and selected in the United States and packed for The Garden by Chanan Din, Lahore. Non-GMO. Every lot is germination-tested here before it goes on sale.
Grow your own banana peppers — long tapering fruits that ripen through pale yellow to orange and red, sweet and mild with no heat at all. Very heavy croppers, excellent pickled or roasted, and they colour up beautifully on the plant.
We stock this variety from more than one American seed house. This listing is the Bentley Seed Co. packet; the Ferry-Morse® version is listed separately.
Growing guide & FAQs
Growing guide for Pakistan
- When to sow: October to December in nursery trays for transplanting in January and February, which is the standard Punjab timing. Karachi can sow from September.
- Sowing: Sow 5 mm deep in trays and transplant at five or six true leaves, spacing 45 cm apart.
- Soil and feeding: Well-drained soil with well-rotted gobar. Switch to a potash-rich feed once the first flowers open — too much nitrogen gives a big green plant and no fruit.
- Water: Even moisture. Irregular watering causes flower drop and blossom-end rot on the fruit.
- Heat: Above about 35 °C the flowers drop. Time the crop so it sets before the peak of May, and give afternoon shade if you can.
- Harvest: Cut with scissors rather than pulling, leaving a short stalk. Picking green keeps the plant producing; leaving fruit to colour gives sweeter peppers but a smaller total crop.
Frequently asked questions
Will this grow in a pot?
Yes. One plant per 12-inch (30 cm) pot in full sun — peppers crop well in containers on a rooftop.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Enough for a home garden bed or a run of pots. Sow a few more than you need and keep the strongest seedlings.
Is the seed non-GMO?
Yes. Every variety in this range is non-GMO.
Do you deliver outside Lahore?
