Emerald Giant sets hefty, blocky green bells that ripen to deep red and stay crunchy, juicy, and sweet all the way. Bred in the mid‑1900s for big yields, it still delivers. Thick walls make it perfect for stuffing, roasting, and slicing raw. Peppers carry vitamin C and carotenoids; full color brings the most. Start indoors, transplant to warm soil, and keep water even to avoid blossom end rot. A classic bell that actually fills the pan.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
