Grow Your Own Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds - Perfect for Short Seasons!

Discover the joy of growing your own Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds, an heirloom variety prized for its quick production and versatile flavor. Ideal for short-season climates, these peppers mature rapidly, offering a bountiful harvest of sweet, crunchy fruits that can grow up to 6" long. Whether pickled, stuffed, or turned into jellies, these peppers add a delightful touch to any dish.

Why Choose Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds?

These open-pollinated peppers are not only easy to grow but also incredibly flavorful. The fruit transitions from pale green to light yellow when ready to harvest, and if left longer, they deepen to a vibrant red. With a mild heat level (Scoville 0-500), they’re perfect for those who enjoy a subtle kick without overwhelming spice.

Easy-to-Grow & High-Yielding Plants

Compact plants reach about 24" tall, making them suitable for gardens or large containers (5-gallon recommended). Each packet contains 30 seeds, ensuring plenty of peppers for fresh eating, pickling, or sharing with friends and family.

Planting Tips for Success

Start Indoors: Begin 8 weeks before warm nights, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat.
Germination: Seeds sprout in 7-21 days with bright light and consistent moisture.
Transplant: Move seedlings to pots until they develop 6 true leaves, then plant 30" apart in rich soil.
Harvest: Pick when peppers are light yellow and full-sized for the sweetest flavor.

Try our Simple Pickled Banana Peppers Recipe to preserve their crisp, tangy goodness! All seeds are GMO-free, so you can grow with confidence.

best pepper for pickling

we made a ton of pickled banana peppers from three plants we started from seed

Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds

Best for sandwiches

We grew these and made refrigerator pickled slices, and they are so good on sandwiches! I only wish I grew a few more plants so we'd have more jars - they don't last long! We added some of your early jalapenos to the jars too for some extra spice.

Pickling peppers

Make great pickles, lots of peppers on the plants.

Love these banana peppers!

I don't know why I put two seeds in each pod in my aerogarden, they all sprout so then I have to see if I can gently pull out the extra seedlings to transplant into their own pods. :) More is better, right? I just don't have it in me to throw them away or even compost them if they look like they have good roots. :) Anyway, these have been productive for me for years, I love to pickle them (quick refrigerator pickles, your recipe) and my husband LOVES them. I also will throw in a jalapeno or other hot pepper just to give them a little more heat. Perfecto!

Tasty and easy to grow

Really good germination rate, I think every one I planted sprouted. Plants were reasonably hardy, and put on a good amount of peppers. These were supposed to be sweet, but they ended up having a little heat to them. Made them a nice surprise. These are one of my daughter's favorite peppers.

SWEET BANANA PEPPERS

my husband loves these sweet banana sweet peppers taste so good in salaids and in dishes. will order them again. hard to get these in stores so order online every years. god bless john 3 16 in the bible

These peppers are prolific!

I've been harvesting these peppers all season, I pulled in a big harvest and I pickled them using Sandia Seed's recipe and they are delicious! What a great pepper.

Buck Dharma approved!

So, as a life long BOC fan and an avid gardener who loves the quality of seeds I’ve always received from Sandia Seeds. I just had to have this shirt. It rocks! I ordered a couple more for some fellow BOC fans as well. Great quality and the graphic is outstanding!

Jalapeño M

I pretty much use Sandia seeds exclusively! A few years ago I just happened to order your Jalapeño M. To me it's the perfect Jalapeño! Really nice size! Perfect heat for what we like! Wonderful flavor with a meatyness that's perfect for many different uses! I make my own Sriracha so I wait for them to turn red. They're one of my base peppers for my sauce! I praise them to all my personal friends and to members of groups that I belong to!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
