Sheepnose Pimento is an Ohio heirloom shared by Amish growers—squat, thick-walled, heart-shaped fruits that ripen to deep red and taste sugary-sweet. Perfect for roasting, stuffing, or making classic pimento cheese. Plants are sturdy and productive, setting well even in cooler summers. Sweet peppers are rich in vitamin C and carotenoids; this one gives you flavor without bitterness. Start indoors, transplant after soil warms, and pick fully red for peak sweetness. If bell peppers disappoint you, Sheepnose will change your mind about sweet, small peppers.

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.
