The Orange Sun pepper is known for its thick walls and rich, sweet flavor. Initially green, it transforms into a vibrant orange as it ripens, signifying a shift in taste towards heightened sweetness. This evolution adds to its culinary versatility, making it a great addition to a variety of dishes.
GROWING TIPS
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.
