About this product

The details that matter

Organic 'King of the Sweet North' Red Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum). This open-pollinated heirloom produces sweet, thick-walled, blocky peppers. Gaia describes the variety as highly productive and cold tolerant, a useful characteristic for shorter growing seasons. Fruit measures about 7.5 to 10 cm. Young peppers are green and develop colour as they mature. Their firm flesh suits salads, grilling, stuffed peppers, and sauces. Gardeners can therefore begin harvesting at the green stage or leave later fruit on the plant until fully coloured and sweeter for colourful summer home cooking. This variety suits short seasons. For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.

Sow King of the Sweet North pepper seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting. Plant them about 1.3 cm deep in a light seed-starting mix. Maintain 25 to 32°C, ideally 27 to 31°C according to Gaia; germination generally takes 7 to 21 days. After emergence, provide bright light and good air circulation. Harden the seedlings off gradually, then transplant after the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Keep the growing mix evenly moist during germination without allowing water to remain around the developing roots. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds. Give every pepper seedling bright light after emergence and harden plants off gradually before outdoor planting.

Grow plants in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, spacing them about 30 to 46 cm apart. Plants reach approximately 61 to 76 cm tall and 46 to 61 cm wide. Gaia lists maturity at about 60 days, making this a useful choice for northern gardens. Maintain even moisture during flowering and fruit development without saturating the soil. Harvest the first pepper promptly to encourage continued summer production, then pick later fruit regularly either green or fully coloured according to the intended use. The Gaia packet contains approximately 10 seeds certified organic by Ecocert Canada.
