Green Pepper Seeds

Grow your own crisp, sweet green peppers (Capsicum annuum) from seed with this pack of heirloom, non-GMO Green Pepper seeds — a kitchen garden staple that thrives in South Africa's warm growing season.

Green peppers are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow at home. Harvest them young and green for a mild, fresh flavour, or leave them on the plant to ripen to red for a sweeter, richer taste. Versatile in the kitchen and beautiful in the garden.
