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 and in our own gardens!
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! Looks gorgeous planted next to Purple and/or Cardinal Basil!
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 throughout the growing season. Great for containers.
