Beaver Dam Pepper Seeds - A Mildly Spicy Heirloom Delight

Discover the unique charm of Beaver Dam Pepper Seeds, a treasured Hungarian heirloom prized for its sweet, crunchy flavor with a slow-building mild heat. These horn-shaped peppers grow 6" long and 2-1/2" wide, transitioning from bright green to vibrant red when ripe. Perfect for stuffing, goulash, or pickling, they bring a delightful balance of sweetness and gentle spice to your garden and kitchen.

Why Grow Beaver Dam Peppers?

Brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, in 1912, this open-pollinated heirloom thrives on compact 18" tall plants, making it ideal for small gardens or containers. With a mild Scoville rating of 1,000, it offers just a hint of warmth - like a bell pepper with a subtle kick. Its versatility shines in dishes, from stuffed peppers to tangy pickled treats. Try out the Easy Refrigerator Pickled Peppers Recipe.

Growing Your Beaver Dam Peppers

Start these heirloom seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant 1/4" deep in sterile soil, maintain 85°F bottom heat, and keep moist. Germination takes 7–21 days. Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into rich soil (30" apart) or 5-gallon containers. Harvest green or wait for a bold red finish.
