Sweet Pepper, Gypsy Queen
Sweet Pepper, Gypsy Queen
We LOVE a good snacking pepper, especially when they're picked fresh from the garden. These peppers are delicious and super productive. Gypsy Queens have performed well repeatedly in trials in the PNW.
The fruits are elongated and tapered, similar to Hungarian sweet peppers. Starts out a lime green color, ripens to a warm, sunny orange, leaning towards red with sweet and thick flesh, perfect for eating fresh. We honestly think the flavor is good at any stage! Good uniformity.
Grow these like any pepper - they thrive in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil. Mulching at the base of the plants will ensure good soil retention. Side or top dress with a boost of worm castings or fish emulsion a few times to give your plants a boost and they will pay you back in peppers upon peppers!
Looks gorgeous planted next to Dark Opal Purple Basil! Great for containers.
