A long, thin pepper that can grow up to 15 centimetres in length, sweet banana peppers are bright yellow in colour. They can be slightly spicy, similar to chilli, and have thick walls. Peppers turn from yellow to orange to red as they ripen.
They taste fantastic when filled with goat cheese, garlic, and rosemary and then lightly oiled. It is preferable to seed with heat early and grow in a greenhouse or polytunnel to ensure a strong crop.
It can be cultivated outside, but because the crop requires a lot of warmth, the number and size of the crops may be reduced, and less will fully ripen. Sweet Pepper ‘Sweet Banana’ thrives in containers as long as it receives adequate watering, warmth, and sunlight.

Sowing & Growing
Optimal timing for sowing is between February and April. Sow the seeds by placing them on the surface of well-draining compost in pots or trays. Cover them with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite, then position them in an environment with a temperature range of 18-21°C until germination occurs.
Once the seedlings have grown sufficiently to handle, transplant them into 7cm (3in) pots and nurture them under glass. When the plants reach a height of 10cm (4in), further transplant them into growbags or 25cm (10in) pots, continuing to cultivate them under glass. Initiate a weekly feeding regimen with tomato fertilizer once the first fruits have set.
Anticipate harvesting your crops from late July to October.
