Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Massive Sweet Bells: Produces impressively large, blocky sweet bell peppers, perfect for stuffing, grilling, or fresh salads.
  • Optimal Growing Conditions: Thrives in warm conditions with 14-16 hours of light per day; ideal soil temperature for germination is around 72°F.
  • Early Harvest: Unique among large bell peppers for its rapid growth and early transition from green to a vibrant red, delivering a quicker harvest.
  • Culinary Delight: Enjoy the crisp, robust flavor that enhances any dish, whether it's cooked or raw in gourmet salads and culinary creations.
  • Disease Resistant: Vigorous growth with natural resistance to common pepper diseases, ensuring a healthy and plentiful yield.

Enhance your garden with the 'Fat N' Sassy' Hybrid Pepper, renowned for its enormous fruit size and rapid maturity. No need to wait all season to taste the rewards of your gardening! These seeds offer a fast-developing plant that transforms from a lush green to a deep, rich red sooner than most bell peppers on the market.

Begin your pepper journey by planting seeds indoors, about six to eight weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil, maintaining a soil temperature of around 72°F. Ensure your sprouts receive about 14-16 hours of light daily for optimal growth. Once seedlings reach about 5 inches, transplant them into 3-inch pots to encourage stronger root development. Continue to nourish your plants with a weekly feed of high-phosphate fertilizer and liquid seaweed to boost root strength. Wait for the night temperatures to warm before moving them outdoors.

Your gardening efforts will be rewarded with a bountiful harvest of large peppers that are not only a joy to grow but also a pleasure to cook and eat. From sizzling fajitas to freshly chopped salads, or even stuffed with your favorite fillings, 'Fat N' Sassy' peppers provide a sweet, robust flavor that elevates any recipe.
