Beaver Dam Pepper Seeds - A Hungarian heirloom pepper that is mildly hot and tastes like a bell pepper with a hint of heat. It is horn-shaped, 6” long, and 2-1/2“ wide at the shoulder. Peppers start off bright green and mature to red when ripe. Compact plants grow only 18” tall. The Beaver Dam pepper was brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in 1912 by the Hussli family. It is crunchy and sweet with slow-building mild heat. Perfect for stuffing, in traditional goulash, or for magnificent pickled peppers. Beaver Dam's flavor will make it worthy of your garden!
Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open Pollinated
Heat Level: Mild Scoville: 1,000

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, and bright light, and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart, or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are green.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
